An essential guide for those who wish to hone their skills in writing successful grant applications.
Scientific research relies on funding, and everyone who conducts research must become adept at funding their research. This book explains how to attain the number one source of research funding: grants. Readers will learn how to prepare grant proposals, how and when to interact with funding institutions, how to interpret and respond to peer review feedback, and much more. Most importantly, they will learn how to identify and convey what makes their proposed research impactful, innovative, and achievable.
Author Jeffrey Wayne Elias has an extensive career in grant funding, including 27 years in academia working on grant support and grant reviewing, plus 19 years in grant management and administration. This experience affords him a well-rounded perspective on why some applications succeed while others don’t. Elias helps readers develop and strengthen their ability to navigate the grant application process—ultimately enabling them to achieve “grant literacy.”
