Grant Writing for Success : Power Point presentation that provides an overview of factors that contribute to applications that succeed in obtaining research funding. This presentation covers the fundamental principles of successful grant writing, including: the most common reasons that grant applications fail, how to make an application "reviewer friendly," and how to meet the needs of the reviewers and the funding agency.

The Art of Writing Proposals: Some Candid Suggestions for Applicants to Social Science Research Council Competitions.
Writing for committee competition is an art quite different from research work itself. After long deliberation, a committee usually has to choose among proposals that all possess the three virtues mentioned above. Other things being equal, the proposal that is awarded funding is the one that gets its merits across more forcefully because it addresses these unspoken needs and norms as well as the overt rules. The purpose of these pages is to give competitors for Council fellowships and funding a more even start by making explicit some of those normally unspoken customs and needs.

The Grantsmanship Center: The Grantsmanship Center is a fundraising, training and information center providing workshops, seminars, publications and foundation information
