### Celebrate Grant Writing Excellence with Peer Recognition

Grant writing requires a unique blend of research prowess, persuasive storytelling, and collaborative finesse. When colleagues deliver exceptional proposals that secure critical funding, peer recognition becomes one of the most meaningful ways to acknowledge their impact.

This **Grant Writer Peer Nomination Form** makes it simple for nonprofit teams, research institutions, academic departments, and development offices to establish a structured recognition program. Whether you're celebrating a single transformative proposal or sustained excellence across multiple funding cycles, this template helps you capture the details that matter—from funding amounts secured to stakeholder partnerships that made success possible.

#### Why Peer-to-Peer Grant Writer Recognition Matters

Unlike top-down awards, peer nominations carry special weight because they come from colleagues who truly understand the complexity of the work. Grant writers juggle competing deadlines, synthesize technical research into compelling narratives, and navigate intricate funder requirements—all while collaborating across departments. When a peer takes the time to nominate someone, it validates not just the outcome, but the skill, dedication, and collaborative spirit behind it.

#### Built for Nonprofits, Research Teams, and Development Offices

This template is optimized for organizations where grant funding is essential to operations—including:

 - **Nonprofit organizations** recognizing development team members for major gifts and program funding
 - **Universities and research institutions** celebrating faculty and research administrators for securing grants
 - **Healthcare organizations** honoring grant writers who bring in research funding and community program support
 - **Cultural institutions and foundations** acknowledging proposal writers who sustain mission-critical work

The form captures both quantitative impact (funding secured, success rates) and qualitative excellence (proposal innovation, research depth, collaborative approach), giving recognition committees a complete picture of each nominee's contributions.

#### Capture What Makes Great Grant Writing Great

This form goes beyond "they wrote a good proposal" to document:

 - **Funding success metrics**: grant amounts, success rates, and competitive wins
 - **Proposal quality examples**: specific grants that showcase excellence in research, narrative, or innovation
 - **Research contributions**: how the nominee advanced knowledge, synthesized complex information, or identified novel funding opportunities
 - **Stakeholder collaboration**: partnerships with program staff, researchers, finance teams, and community members that strengthened proposals

Conditional logic ensures nominators provide meaningful detail—especially when highlighting specific proposals or collaborative achievements—so selection committees have rich, substantive information to review.
