We hold a summer grant writing workshop.  Participants who attend all
sessions (4) and submit a proposal within the following AY year receive a
small stipend.  It has worked well.

I've never liked this  kind of program, although some of my colleagues will
disagree.  The biggest problem is you are, in effect, paying them to turn
out a proposal that you can't evaluate.  They might try hard, put out a good
proposal and get funded, or they might, and most often, wait until th elast
minute, turn in crap, and get paid anyway.  Have someone do this enouigh, it
guts what on the surface looks like a good idea.

Writing proposals and doing research is the job of a faculty memeber.
Creating the knowledge they teach is part of being a member of a discipline.
Doing this you are paying them twice and likely getting garbage anyway.
It's a bad idea.
