Learners will conduct research to identify potential grant opportunities from government agencies, private foundations, and industry organizations. They will analyze the eligibility criteria, application processes, and deadlines for these grants. The project will also involve developing a prioritized list of grants that Synclusiv should pursue, along with a timeline and action plan for application submission. This project allows learners to apply their research, analytical, and strategic planning skills in a real-world context, directly contributing to Synclusiv's growth initiatives.
