| Summary |
In a world of limited funding, grantseeking is extremely competitive. The fifth edition of Proposal Planning & Writing will lead even those new to the process through a step-by-step consideration of best practices to help them come out on top. The book is packed with the most up-to-date information on finding public and private funds, picking the "best fit" funders for one's project, writing all proposal components persuasively, polishing drafts through creative editing strategies, and utilizing appropriate follow-up techniques. This wisdom-filled volume includes some 90 exhibits, such as sample grant awards, budget narratives, time and task charts, dissemination strategies, and consortium agreements. There are also ten complete letter proposals and an indispensable discussion of common "grant gaffes." |
