Handbook of Scientific
Proposal Writing
Investigators, their home institutions, and funding agencies play
significant roles in the development and outcomes of scientific
projects. Submitting a proposal to a funding agency is only one
dimension of
a
multivariable
and complex funding process, and
understanding this is a good first step toward unlocking the puzzle
behind why some research proposals receive awards while others
are declined. The Handbook of Scientific Proposal Writing offers
researchers and research administrators a broad perspective on
the process of initiating and conducting funded scientific research
projects.
Written for students and researchers in all fields and disciplines, this
reference offers a holistic approach to conceiving and then converting
new ideas into effective proposals. It focuses on the technical aspects
of writing proposals rather than the fund-raising issues. Chapters
provide full coverage of the scientific method, including information
on how scientific research should be conducted.
Providing the tools necessary to organize ideas and obtain the funds
needed to effectively manage projects, the Handbook of Scientific
Proposal Writing includes:
• 56
figures and
25
tables to help convey key ideas
•
More than
150
citations that provide pointers to additional
sources for further reading
•
Examples to help the reader ease through more abstract
concepts
•
End-of-chapter questions to stimulate further examination and
comprehension
