An Introduction to Grant Writing
This asynchronous course introduces participants to the basics of scientific grant writing and management. The contents of this course are organized across five distinct modules, each comprised of several brief video lectures recorded by experts from across the globe, followed by a short quiz to assess learner competency. We expect that each module will require between 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete, with the full course requiring between 10 to 15 hours.
Participants may work through the sequential modules at their own pace. Participants that complete all module assessments will receive a standard certificate upon completion. When you are ready, please proceed to the Course Introduction page where you will read more about the course content.

IMPORTANT NOTICE & INSTRUCTIONS
OHWA is on hiatus as of September 21, 2025.
New course registrations have been suspended. No additional coursework will be supported.
We are grateful to the educators and practitioners who leant their talents to the creation of the OHWA, and to the global community of the learners who utilized OHWA’s educational resources. Your participation demonstrated the value of accessible and timely One Health content. Taking time on hiatus will allow us to regroup, given shifting funding landscapes, and we will be actively investigating future possibilities for re-engaging with the global One Health education space.
