Book Description
This book will be of value both to scientists and to undergraduate and graduate students who want to write successful grant or research proposals. For scientists, today's environment of limited funding from Congress and private foundations means that grant proposals must be effective, competitive, and readable. The book is designed to provide a guide to writing proposals and improving their overall quality. For graduate students in the natural sciences, courses on proposal development and writing are increasingly part of the curriculum--this book is, in fact, derived from a course taught by the authors at Dartmouth. Increasingly, research design is a part of the curriculum for undergraduates in science. This book will provide guidance during the conceptualization and formulation of a research plan as well as give specific information for effectively organizing and presenting material in a format widely used for proposal submissions.Customer Reviews:
Good overview of the content and organization of a proposal.......2004-04-14
The only major drawback to the book as a general reference is that it is heavily oriented towards experimental biology. Much of the nuts-and-bolts advice doesn't apply to theoretical work, and little or no equivalent advice is given for theoretical proposals.

Book Description
Guide to Effective Grant Writing: How to Write a Successful NIH Grant is written to help the 100,000+ post-graduate students and professionals who need to write effective proposals for grants. There is little or no formal teaching about the process of writing grants for NIH, and many grant applications are rejected due to poor writing and weak formulation of ideas. Procuring grant funding is the central key to survival for any academic researcher in the biological sciences; thus, being able to write a proposal that effectively illustrates one's ideas is essential. Covering all aspects of the proposal process, from the most basic questions about form and style to the task of seeking funding, this volume offers clear advice backed up with excellent examples. Included are a number of specimen proposals to help shed light on the important issues surrounding the writing of proposals. The Guide is a clear, straight-forward, and reader-friendly tool.Customer Reviews:

Thorough, full of sound advice and strategy.......2001-04-10
I have used this book as a ready reference since the first edition was published in 1997. This second edition reflects a major update to the original book in that the proposal management tools in the first edition were woefully out of date and the focus was not on some of the Government opportunities for small business, such as Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)that require a tailored proposal strategy. The second edition also addresses new Government initiatives for e-business and a plethora of other topics that were not present in the first edition.
If you are competing for Government business this is the most complete, accurate book I know of that covers the RFP-Proposal-Negotiation-Award process. Short of memorizing the FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations), amassing years of proposal writing experience, and gaining the wisdom of knowing what works and what doesn't you will not find a more concise guide to the process. Also, you will benefit greatly from the wealth of tips and pointers that the author provides from his own extensive experience. If you are in the DoD contracting business, regardless of business size, I cannot overemphasize this book's value when it comes to cutting through the maze and providing a clear roadmap. If you are a proposal or capture manager I strongly recommend that you get a copy for every member of your team.
For the book's readers who are in the commercial sector the approach outlined in this book will add process and structure to your proposal writing efforts. The rigorous requirements imposed by the Government are too often lacking in the commercial process, which results in sloppy proposals that meander around issues and miss important client requirements. Also, because the proposal development process can be as large a task in the commercial sector, managing it can be a nightmare without a well thought out strategy for ensuring that all of the "t"s are crossed and "i"s dotted. The approach in this book practically hands you a ready-made process that you can apply to proposal development. This process will not only improve your ability to respond quickly and accurately to RFPs, but do so in an efficient manner. The result will be a significant competitive advantage.
For both sets of readers I think some of the advice, such as using the proposal as a marketing tool as well as a due-diligence instrument for responding to RFPs is excellent. For example, the author emphasizes backing up responses with examples to demonstrate claims. This is a powerful technique that I have used repeatedly to good advantage. It goes a long way towards assuaging client concerns about capabilities versus empty claims, and will turn a proposal that is merely responsive into one that is compelling.
Other things that make this book extremely valuable include the CD ROM of checklists and templates, and the numerous examples from the author's past proposals.
In my opinion this is the best book available for proposal development, and the only one that fully addresses every aspect of managing the proposal process for Government business. It should be on the shelf of anyone who responds to RFPs, and in the library of every company that does Government or commercial contracting.
Thorough and Professional.......2001-03-01
Fueling Your Enterprise.......2000-02-08
A MUST-READ..........1999-01-30
The business development principles illuminated in this book apply equally when businesses sell to and buy from other businesses.
Moreover, I would like to see a companion periodical publication, a CD-ROM or a newsletter, that updates the rapidly changing technological and regulatory aspects of the book. Subscribers to such a service would include all full-time business development and government procurement staff.
The book's style is that of a successful proposal. The book, as the successful proposals discussed by Mr. Frey, is an effective sales document as well as en extremely informative technical reference. The key strengths of this work are its completeness and depth. Mr. Frey provides us with a broad overview of the procurement process presented from the perspective of the business developer. The book clearly shows how the various members of a small business organization should interact to produce a successful business development effort.
At each stage of the business development process the book describes all of the necessary steps to a winning proposal. Detailed schedules, document templates, document samples and examples clearly illustrate every critical step required for planning and executing a successful proposal effort. The book presents all aspects of proposal writing including the development and use of themes, illustrations, style, and even the physical production and delivery of the proposal have in a "user friendly" manner. Mr. Frey's system of handling acronyms and his implementation of the glossary are extremely valuable to the reader. The completeness of the acronym list alone is, in my view, worth more than the price of the book.
Two key concepts developed throughout the book are: the concept of proposals as sales documents, and the critical requirement for solid and continuous upper management's support of the business and proposal development process.
Private companies, both small and large, will find this book invaluable as the blueprint for establishing, and implementing their business development infrastructures.
Great tool for winning competitive Government contracts.......1998-11-18

Getting past the government gobbledegook........2001-01-08
Pequegnat and Stover hold senior level positions in the US National Institute of Mental Health and specialize in behavioral research relating to AIDS. The book they have developed brings together more than 30 contributors who have worked in various aspects of AIDS research, many from positions at NIMH, and others from University or other research viewpoints. Because of this focus, most of the book focuses on the processes particular to NIMH and uses AIDS research as the focus for examples. It is obvious, however, that the principles and processes laid out will be useful to those seeking research support from other federal program agencies, as well as from state, industry or private funding entities.
The book has three sections and 20 chapters. Section I deals with "Grantsmanship and the Review Process;" its eight chapters lay out several important considerations for any person interested in developing a research application. The pieces deal with the general philosophy of a research program, gathering information from government communications, and an overview of the ways in which a government agency views submissions from university or other researchers. This section also addresses matters relating to research design, hypothesis development, and even ways to better understand and use feedback from application reviewers.
The ten chapters of section II deal with "Developing Sections of Your Research Application" and provide a wealth of applicable information about developing exciting hypotheses for testing, using qualitative inquiry instrumentation, relating to, and gaining assistance from other disciplines, and some nuts-and-bolts issues relating to human subjects, budget, the data analytic plan, and even presentation of staff resumes to support and strengthen the grant application package.
Section III, with two chapters covers "Disseminating Your Findings." This section addresses delivering a talk about the research, and a final chapter provides a great deal of detail on adding visuals to presentations-charts graphs and other support materials. Three appendix sections provide an actual example of a successful research application and addresses issues such as data analysis, budget justification and other issues such as charts, timelines and visual aids.
Several chapters will be especially useful for the relatively inexperienced grant-seeker. Pequegnat's chapter on "Signals to the Field" highlights the role of Program Announcements (PAs) and Requests for Applications (RFAs) that signal particular areas of interest to the granting agency. The chapter also suggests other ways in which interest is announced, ways to carefully read those communications in order to be responsive to the guidance.
AIDS is the area of interest and expertise for all of the contributors, yet the subtitle of the volume, "A Guide for Social and Behavioral Scientists" suggests useful application to other areas of inquiry. It is not difficult to extrapolate the specifics of NIMH AIDS research to other areas of health research, and to behavioral and social science research in general. The pieces on research design, qualitative inquiry, study design, and others will be useful to academics and research designers in a broad field of interest.
The book is well organized, clearly written, and not unnecessarily bound by particular jargon of the contributing researchers. It should be helpful reading to a wide group, albeit specialized, group of scholars.
