This workshop aims to initiate a strategic dialogue concerning the PE Academy’s two key goals: financial viability and visibility of the PE philosophy and its concepts. PE’s evolutionary maturity of theoretical, applied and published/documented knowledge over the past three decades obligates a natural inquiry: how can we advance this knowledge through grants from public and private funders? Thus, the purpose of this two-fold approach is to first refresh and/or raise participant awareness, and next, use their feedback in determining the feasibility of the undertaking. In addition to help sustain the Academy’s financial security, a successful funding venture could potentially render multiple positive consequences: (1) help experiment the viability of various PE theories and concepts (2) help develop PE’s train-the-trainer team of experts for dissemination of the demonstrated concepts (3) as a viable source, help facilitate data accumulation capability to further advance the evidence-based research; and, (3) help further advance PE’s professional recognition across the diverse, multi-level educational landscape.
The grants.gov website and this sub-link provide a comprehensive understanding of the federal grants process, procedures and resources for a first-time visitor and experts alike.
This web-link highlights key differences between the grants process supported by public- and private-sector funders.
Since all academic research proposals are subject to IRB’s review and approval to ensure compliance with the standards of research ethics, this FAQs link serves as a quick refresher.
This example provides a quick and complete understanding of the grants management process for small nonprofit organizations such as the PE Academy.

Before the session:
During the session:
Goal 1: Using a PPT, share and explain the foundational essentials of public- and private-sector funding process and procedures.
Learning Objective: Familiarize and/or refresh participants’ overall understanding involving the grants-related basics.
Goal 2: Share and explain a basic non-profit institutional structure to initiate a functional grants management process.
Learning Objective: Inform and increase participant understanding through gap analysis using the Academy’s current landscape and resources.
Goal 3: Discuss key research methodologies vs. feasibility of initiating a PE pilot project.
Learning Objective: Participants will be able to determine various PE modules’ alignment with research methods to determine the most logical justification for funding.
During the session:
Goal 3: Conduct an inventory of the Academy’s current environment and resources from structural, expertise, and feasibility points of view.
Learning Objective 1: Secure the PE community’s feedback on Academy’s readiness toward the grant solicitation effort.
Learning Objective 2: Determine the subsequent steps as appropriate.
