Annotation Grant writing is not as daunting a task as it may seem at least not when you have experts to guide you. In the first half of this book, the authors explain what every grant writer needs to know and do to successfully secure funding. You will learn the following: How to locate different kinds of grant sponsors How to understand the Request for Proposals (RFP) How to write a persuasive proposal The second part of the book begins where most books on grant writing end.
