Writing Short Course

The subject of this short course is proposal writing. But the proposal
does not stand-alone. It must be part of a process of planning and of research
on, outreach to, and cultivation of potential foundation and corporate donors.
The recommended process is not a formula to be rigidly adhered to. It is
a suggested approach that can be adapted to fit the needs of any nonprofit
and the peculiarities of each situation. Fundraising is an art as well as
a science. You must bring your own creativity to it and remain flexible.

A successful grant application will convince reviewers that:
- your proposed research addresses important questions in basic and/or
applied science.
- your proposed experimental plan will answer many of those questions
in an efficient and convincing way.
- you know and understand the contemporary research literature in your
field.

There are several components to a strong grant application. First the
Subject must be creative, Exciting, and worthy of funding. Then, the project
must be developed through a rigorous, well-defined experimental plan. Finally,
you must make sure that the information is presented in clear language and
that your application follows the rules and guidelines detailed in the grant
application kit. |

Staff members give workshops on proposal writing, answer questions by
phone and e-mail, and talk to potential awardees at professional meetings
and at NSF. The following is the essence of the advice often given to inquirers.
These suggestions for improving proposals were collected from a variety
of sources, including NSF Program Directors, panel reviewers, and successful

Grant seekers usually enter the grants arena with many questions. "Is
grant writing really worth my time?" "What are my chances of getting
a grant?" "Is it easier to get public or private grants?"
"How do I know what grant makers really look for in a proposal?"
"Do I have to know the 'right people' in order to get a grant?"
"How much money should I ask for in a grant?" Questions like these--and
many others--often translate into one fundamental question, "Is it
all really worth it?" For those organizations that received part of
the over 150 billion dollars given last year in grants,
the answer is clearly "Yes, it really is worth it." |
