ABSTRACT
Grant proposals require careful planning, research, and a well-written persuasive plan of action that emphasizes how the applicant’s research idea will meet the funders’ guidelines. The grant writing process involves responding to an application with the art, skill, and precision of completing a puzzle. Each section of the grant application has its own clearly defined purpose and leads the grant reviewers and funders to a clear comprehensive picture of the proposed project, or research proposal, through a clear and compelling argument. The purpose of this chapter is to provide readers with an in-depth understanding of grant guidelines, requirements, and steps involved with writing a grant proposal.
