This is not another how-to-write-a-grant-proposal book. Unlike those books, Getting Grants argues that no matter what type of organization, there is a direct relationship between the organization’s internal proposal development process and how successful the organization is at securing grant funding. Getting Grants deals with every step of the process of obtaining grants and includes a CD-ROM with forms and checklists in MS Word format. This book is intended for a US audience and material applies to grant applications in the US.
