Grant Seeking In An Electronic Age (part Of The Allyn & Bacon Series In Technical Communication)

This guide teaches students and professionals a systematic process for researching, designing, writing, and submitting successful grant-seeking proposals.

Focusing on proposals submitted for government, foundation, and corporation funding, Grant Seeking in an Electronic Age leads the reader through a six-step grant-seeking process, from researching potential funders, to designing, writing and submitting a proposal that follows the funder's guidelines. Grounded in theory, but rooted in successful practice, it teaches students what really works-a third of students who submit proposals based on this text's approach get funded within a year. The text's guided discovery process provides a useful framework for novice writers while its thinking-planning exercises offer useful ways of organizing information and discovering what still need to be researched.
