The "How To" Grants Manual: Successful Grantseeking Techniques for Obtaining Public and Private Grants (The ACE Series on Higher Education)

By David G. Bauer and Bauer, David G. Bauer, David G.

Book Overview

The sixth edition of this essential guide was created for both novice grantseekers who need instruction on how to begin the process, and seasoned grantseekers who want to learn new techniques to save time and increase success. Revisions and additions reflect the enormous changes and challenges that have occurred in the grants marketplace since the fourth edition was published in 1999. The exhibits and tables have been updated to reflect advances in technology and computer usage. Over half of the book is new to enhance the reader's ability to compete in the current grants marketplace-and to avoid the failure and wasted time of proposal rejection. Included are a historical perspective of the grants marketplace and insight on what to expect in the next few years. This edition also offers concepts that were not included in previous editions. These concepts arose from advances in technology and the growing desire of grantors to fund consortia that hold the promise of new and different interdisciplinary opportunities, while also providing for cost efficiency through the sharing of resources.

Great resource

I would definitely recommend this book if you are not familiar with grant writing and are working your way through it. Great tips and tricks.

Great value, excellent condition!

I searched various sites for this book, all wanted more money for comparable listed condition. It was listed as "good" but should have been "excellent" as it appears the book was never opened. I scored.

The How to Grants Manual: Successful Grantseeking Techniques for Obtaining Public and Private Grants

This book is a tool that could be included in any grant writer's toolkit. Since it explains each aspect of grant writing, its easy to understand this very complex and evolving subject. The CD included with the book is further support to the listener and useful. I am quite impressed with the ability of the writer to communicate instructions that would otherwise be very confusing.

Great book

Practical and easy to read. Short and succinct chapters make it easy to understand.
