Product Description
Updated and revised third edition of the standard guide to grant writing for health and human service professionals in academic and practice settings. Since the publication of the 2nd edition in 2003, the grant world has witnessed dramatic changes, from constraints in budgets to significant transformations in the submission process. This new edition is still geared both to inexperienced grant writers and those who have had some success but would like to expand their knowledge. The book lays out an approach to thinking about grant writing and the necessary vocabulary and knowledge to effectively read a funding opportunity, determine its appropriateness to pursue your ideas, and level of professional development, and the processes for applying for funding. This edition also includes expanded coverage of important areas including how to develop a grant budget, implement effective trans-disciplinary collaborations (an approach that is being advocated in many of the new NIH funding opportunities), interpret reviewers' comments, and manage a grant project upon its award. As in previous editions, each chapter is peppered with examples and helpful tables that summarize key points; outline specific questions to ask colleagues, program officers and administrators to obtain the critical information you need for success; and appendices full of specific examples and templates.

 Some of the information other such books leave out... January 25, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Here's a book that I wish I had read several years ago...there are many details of the grant process that experienced grantwriters don't share-either they don't know or they forgot that others don't know. This book covers basic principles of grantwriting in a clear and direct style. The target audience is new or novice grantwriters (such as graduate students, postdocs, or junior faculty) in the fields of health and human services. Thus, the examples in the book are in those areas, however, there is plenty of information that is relevant to grantwriting in the biomedical sciences. The authors usually point out relevant differences. I learned things I didn't know about how RFPs are developed, when and how to contact a program director, how to interpret the pink sheets, and strategies for resubmissions (including how to decide whether or not to resubmit).
The book covers three areas that most grantwriting books omit: 1) strategies on how each individual grant should be part of an overall career strategy; 2) discussion and outline of a research career trajectory as one progresses from novice to intermediate to advanced and expert; and 3) information on assembling an effective grantwriting team for program project grants and multidisciplinary proposals. This third area is becoming increasingly important as the trend toward translational and group science grows. (I will re-read this section the next time I am asked to work on a training or program grant.)
This would be a great book for the bookshelf in a lab or in a grad student or postdoc resource center.
 Not that good June 27, 2005

This book is not really that good of a guide. Very simplistic in approach and mostly common sense. Their guide seems to be geared towards educational program start-ups and nothing else. If you are in the biomedical sciences, this book is a waste.
