I started work for this new company on November 1st. I am scheduled to work with my colleagues to better learn what it is I have to do. When ever its time for me to go into their offices and work with them, they tell me that they are too busy to train me. I insist that they help me, but they refuse. I have complained to my supervisor, and all she has to say is your going to be on your own starting in 1 week. I have to write grants for my job, but no one is taking the time to teach me. I'm affraid I will lose my job because of lack of team work. What should I do?

Seems as if they are afraid to train you because they believe that you will take their job soon. Please do not insist that someone train you. You might come off as repulsive. Instead, take on a humble attitude.
A good point to start though is to do some research. Find documents relating to your job....stuff that the person who previously held your position did.
Quite frankly, it is the company's responsibility to train you in a formal manner and this is something that you should have negotiated before you took the job. At this point, I believe that you should go to your human resource manager and explain that you do not have a clue what you should be doing. Ask him/her to assign someone to train you. Failing that, I would suggest that you find another job and please exercise better negotiating skills next time.

Yikes, that's not a good situation to be in. Ummmmmm If it's that bad, you might want to quit your job, unless you have nothing to do or your making good money. Try confronting your coworkers, but don't be too mean.
