Takes the reader to a new level in proposal writing
The authors have captured the gestalt of grant writing in a lucid fashion. In short, I think students would appreciate the clarity and insights this book offers. -Robert J. Hard, University of Texas at San Antonio As a research scientist who is frequently involved in proposal development myself, it is clear to me that the authors have travelled the grant writer s path before. -John V. Stone, Michigan State University This resource provides a step-by-step approach to turning a research idea into a proposal worthy of funding, demystifying the process as a result. The authors present a proven approach to the development of research ideas alongside a systematic treatment of proposals section-by-section and project management function-by-function. Highly accessible, this book gives examples for each aspect of the proposal development and works through sketches of ideas to fully developed proposal sections.
Key FeaturesContains idea development linked to specific proposal sections Supports creativity that can be captured effectively and systematically one step at a time.

Synopsis
This book was written in response to the needs of faculty and graduate students for a meaningful guide that starts where they begin a research project - with their very best ideas - and progresses in an orderly fashion to:
Develop their starting ideas to the fullest
Find sources of support that intersect most appropriately with their core interests
Write a proposal that builds systematically on their ideas and interests and makes a beginning contribution to knowledge
Conduct the project with innovative guidelines on project management that help the PI and the project team participate in and experience the excitement of bringing a research project to life
