SHORT COURSE IN MASTER GRANT PROPOSAL WRITING AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS
The University of Medical Sciences in Ondo City, Ondo State was
established with the mission to foster excellence in teaching, research and
service delivery in all health sciences disciplines. The purpose of the
University is to do things differently in ways to correct the present
inadequacies that characterize the tertiary educational system in Nigeria. One
of the strategies that the University has identified for achieving its
developmental milestones is high level training and re-training for staff and
students that would re-cultivate the best practices in the University system.

To this end, the University is convening a unique workshop on Master
Grant Proposal Writing and Financial Management for Teaching and Non-Teaching
staff of Universities to engender financial sustainability for Universities.
Although Universities often fret about non-available funds for development, the
proper management of the modicum of funds available is also very critical to
the development aspirations of any tertiary institution. This workshop will
bring together some of the best minds in University education nationally, to
teach contemporary and innovative methods of fund raising and financial
management within the Nigerian tertiary system.
