Grant Seeking in Higher Education (PDF)

Written for anyone in higher education who is responsible for
submitting and running a grant-funded project, Grant Seeking in
Higher Education offers a hands-on resource for developing and
managing the grant process from start to finish.

Step by step, the authors will help you to identify and sort
through potential sponsors, tap into campus support that is already
in place, and prepare to write a targeted grant proposal that can
generate results. Once you have completed the research, the book
outlines the keys to writing a winning proposal, including an
effective proposal narrative, thorough budget, and readable
proposal package. To give grant seekers an extra edge, the book
contains a toolkit of tested materials. These proven
tools--templates, examples, and cheat sheets--are designed
to help you approach your project as a grants professional
would.

Grant Seeking in Higher Education also spotlights the need for
academic leaders to create a campuswide culture that fosters
efficient and effective grant seeking.
