Part of my job as an account manager for an educational software company is talking to college and university faculty and administrators about curriculum trends, state and federal educational programs and standards, along with the current econonomic and political climate in post-secondary education.
I am by no means a grants expert! On the contrary, I am quite new to this area, so I hope you will forgive me if you already know way more about all of this than I (and you probably do!). However, since on a daily basis I was dragging out my well-worn notebook to share my scribbled notes about various funding sources and initiatives, I decided the easiest thing to do would be to create a blog where I could easily update information and links for my customers.
