Phase 2 Toolkit: Grant & Proposal Writing

By S. Joseph Levine, Ph.D. "This Guide for Writing a Funding Proposal was created to help empower people to be successful in gaining funds for projects that provide worthwhile social service. A major theme that runs throughout the Guide is a concern for the development of meaningful cooperative relationships - with funding agencies, with community organizations, and with the people you are serving - as a basis for the development of strong fundable initiatives. The Guide is built on the assumption that it is through collaboration and participation at all levels that long term change can be effected."

Institute of Genetics, CIHR. By Roderick McInnes, Brenda Andrews, Richard Rachubinski. "This guidebook is intended for all researchers (new and experienced) who write grant applications in any area of health research, including basic biomedical research, clinical research, the social sciences and the humanities. This guidebook provides tips about: applying for a grant as a Principal Investigator (PI), writing papers, building and managing your research team and laboratory, managing your time. Obviously, these tips are only suggestions, not universal rules. However, these tips are from successful senior scientists who are extremely—and perhaps even overly!—familiar with applying for grants, managing research teams, and running research laboratories."
