Discount Extended for Grant Writing Book From Conference

She attended the annual conference to showcase the book at the invitation of LeadingAge NY . A discount similar to what attendees received at the conference is now available to all members .
According to Carol , she and her co-author , William G . Lane , Ph . D ., created Grant Writing for Aging Services and Programs to share what they have learned from over 60 combined years of experience in writing and managing grants in the field of aging . There were two specific motivations according to Carol .“ As reviewers of Federal grants , we have seen too many good proposal concepts rejected because applicants were simply unskilled in both planning their grant well and also presenting their concept and management plan effectively to reviewers . We wanted to help . There was no existing book focused specifically on grant writing in the aging field . We wanted to share what we have learned over the years with other professionals in aging .
Carol Hegeman was , for over 30 years , the Director of Research at the Foundation for Long Term Care in Albany , part of what is now LeadingAge NY . In that position , she conceived , wrote and managed over 30 grants , usually with the participation of LeadingAge NY members and staff . Five of these funded projects won state or national awards She received the American Society on Aging ’ s ( ASA ) 2008 Gloria Cavanagh Education & Training Award . Carol now operates Hegeman Consulting , a small firm focused primarily on grant writing training and coaching , curriculum development and training in the field of aging .
