| Summary |
"This book has been updated and revised to help beginning students and grantwriters create an effective proposal, which will increase their chances of success. The Third Edition of Proposal Writing: Effective Grantsmanship is not an exhaustive text on proposal writing, as its focus is to provide a solid foundation upon which to add years of experience to fine-tune grant-writing skills. Authors Soraya M. Coley and Cynthia A. Scheinberg demystify the grant-writing process and provide a guide to writing that is as jargon-free and as simple to use as possible." "This is an excellent guide for beginning grant writers as well as graduate courses such as Grantwriting and Fundraising for Social Work, Social Work Program Planning, and Social Work Administration in departments of social work."--Jacket. |
