• Collaborate with subject matter experts, project managers, and finance teams to gather necessary information and ensure proposal alignment.
  
• Maintain a comprehensive understanding of DoD funding priorities, guidelines, and submission platforms (e.g., SAM.gov, Grants.gov).
  
• Prepare and submit Letters of Intent (LOIs), white papers, and pre-proposals when required.
  
• Track submissions, maintain a calendar of deadlines, and coordinate post-submission follow-ups.
  
• Contribute to the development of standard templates, boilerplate content, and proposal toolkits.

Qualifications

• Proven success in winning DoD or federal education/training grants.
  
• 5+ years of professional grant writing experience, preferably with DoD agencies such as:
  
  
  • Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA)

  • National Defense Education Program (NDEP)
    
  • STARBASE, Nunn-Perry, or related initiatives

• Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills.
  
• Familiarity with federal funding systems (SAM.gov, Grants.gov, eBRAP, etc.).
  
• Strong organizational and project management skills.
  
• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or relevant certifications (e.g., GPC) a plus.
