Describe your need or problem in compelling terms. Objectives should be clear and well-defined. Methods should be realistic and understandable. Draft and re-draft your application. The best time to start a new application is right after finishing the current application.
Introduction There are very few full-time grant writers.
Most of us write grants because it's a relatively small part of our job. From time to time, the need to write a grant becomes an all-consuming task. This booklet is designed to give you a handy method to organize your work, speed up the grant writing process, and increase your chance of writing winning proposals. Each grant application is unique. Each funding source has its own special requirements, and it's very important to pay close attention to their guidelines.
