What title is on your business card or your email signature? Is the word grant in your title?
Whether your answer is yes or no, it doesn’t matter. You can be a successful professional (whether you want to call yourself a grant professional or not is up to you).
Here's what I have found to be the habits of a successful professional (who works on grants) whether they are formally called a grant professional or not, whether they are focusing on grants occasionally, part-time or nearly full-time.
I know from talking with colleagues that the list of what are your key daily, weekly, monthly and annual habits are unique to you. Creating consistency in your habits, so that whether your grant seeking responsibilities are part-time or full-time, in your title or not, the work you are doing is based on the best practices for research, relationship building and writing. Ultimately, the consistency of these habits will help you achieve your desired grant seeking success.
