Models of Proposal Planning and Writing

In intimate detail previously unpublished, this book illustrates an integrated process of planning and writing persuasive proposals. This book contains actual proposals submitted to private and public sponsors, including paragraph-by-paragraph analyses of the key features that made them persuasive. 

This book contains an examination of the verbatim reviewer comments and grant award notification letters sent from the sponsors.  These annotated models serve as a springboard from which grantseekers can begin to develop their own fundable proposals.

In sum, you will learn not only what was funded but more importantly why three proposals were funded.
