ABSTRACT

There are thousands of published and currently cataloged books for circulation addressing the topics of research, research design, research methods and research theory. That wealth of resources would make it amply redundant on our part to discuss all the aspects relating to the topic. However, a book on grant proposal writing isn’t complete without some guidelines. The perspective in this chapter is that research grants tend to go to individuals or groups who have a fully established research program. Let us examine the implications for “extramural” funding.
