Product Description
This primer on the writing of the NIH proposal and the mechanics of applying for NIH grants offers hands-on advice that simplifies, demystifies, and takes the fear out of writing a federal grant application. The graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, or junior research faculty member applying for a prestigious NIH grant - anything from a training grant to a full-blown research award - faces many complex issues. Althoughseveral grant writing guides already exist, they are overly general and do not focus on the NIH process. Also, although several NIH institutes provide information regarding grant submissions,this information tends to be voluminous and insufficient toguide one through the process. This book provides specific and detailed step-by-step guidance in completing an NIH application through a number of unique features.
Written by an author with proven success in obtaining NIH grants and in developing grant application workshops for university and convention settings, this book features actual forms from NIH grant applications - including the brand new SF 424 forms - which have been annotated so as to guide readers step-by-step, highlighting unexpected nuances that can make all the difference between winning and losing a grant. This unique book extensively covers SBIR and STTR grants as well.
Writing the NIH Grant Proposal offers several key benefits to the reader: - Provides detailed help for both the PHS 398 and the brand new SF 424 grant application forms
- Utilizes specific supporting cases and examples to clearly illustrate the grant proposal writing process
- Includes flow charts illustrating the grant application review process at NIH
- Features a section in which actual reviewers give advice about common pitfalls of proposals and what they, as reviewers, look for in a "fundable" proposal
- References additional helpful resources in several appendices,including a glossary of terms used in NIH grant applications,a directory ofhelpful web sites, and a set of checklists to guide the reader through every aspect of the writing process
This book is an ideal and must-have resource for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty members who are planning to apply for a NIH grant. (20051010)

 Good, but could be better March 22, 2008

This book is a great overview of NIH grant writing, which programs you should submit your grant to and so forth.
However, the grant writing strategies are heavily focused on clinical studies an not basic science, so the last third of the book is only of modest use to those writing basic bench science grants.
The first half of the book is great for navigating all of the different NIH programs and deciding which program is best for you depending on which stage you are at in you career. This part of the book is very valuable since the NIH can be a bit of a maze.
I gave this a 3-star because the book claims to be much more than it really is. If you are submitting a clinical research grant, then this is the book for you. However, if you are a basic biomedical bench scientist, I would consider other of the books out there. Also there is almost no discussion of what to do after you submit, how to respond to criticism and improve your chances of being funded. This is almost half of the battle of getting a grant.

I am surprised by the low rating. I completely disagaree. I highly recommend this book, escpically for beginners like me. If you are just starting or already in the world of grant writing, this book is a MUST. It takes the unceratinty and stress out of writing and the daunting task ahead. If you don't know where to start and need guidenace along the way without hiring a grant writer or delegating the responsibility to someone else in your organization, then get this book. I've scanned other books in this area, and they do not come close to what this book offers.

This is a pretty nuts and bolts approach to preparing an NIH grant and reads much like the pages on the NIH websites. It has nicely brought together a lot of the detailed information (different types of grants, different application deadlines, etc) that is on the NIH websites and into a somewhat more user friendly format. But do not think about buying this book to help you actually WRITE a grant. This is for novices who don't know a K01 from a P01. If looking for help in preparing the best possible grant, I suggest the books by Ogden or Yang.
