Using Data in Grant Writing will help participants understand how to identify, gather, and use relevant data to support a successful grant application.
This workshop teaches the next steps of persuasively communicating what you have learned after gaining initial insight from data.
Your organization may have data, dashboards, platforms, evaluations, or reporting processes, but are they actually helping people make better decisions? In many organizations, data and technology efforts stall not because the tools are wrong, but because the learning system around them is incomplete. This 90-minute interactive session from DARO will help participants think beyond tools and better understand what it takes to build a learning system that supports action.
