Publisher's Synopsis
"Secrets of a Successful Proposal" might well be another title for this Secpond Edition of Guidelines for Preparing Proposals, one of Lewis Publishers' best selling books. Successful proposals pay off dramatically and richly reward those who take the necessary time and effort to prepare them. Billions of dollars are distributed annually in R&D grants and in funding responses to other proposals.
So how can you get a fair share of this enormous pie for your inspired idea or research project? The answer is no secret - you seek and win grants with carefully-crafted, responsive proposals. This new, greatly expanded edition shows you how!
Guidelines for Preparing Proposals, 2nd Edition discusses such essential topics as the elements of a proposal, getting ready to write the proposal, using a computer to make your task easier, and preparing a proposal as a team. The book also addresses how to prepare proposals for specific purposes, such as government or foundation grants, venture capital, and intracompany deals. The book will be invaluable to anyone seeking to tap into available grants.
