"Getting Your Share of the Pie: The Complete Guide to Finding Grants" Publisher: Praeger | 2010 | ISBN: 0313382549 | 208 pages
Many organizations that desperately need financial support miss opportunities for funding for two reasons: They don't have the knowledge or resources to successfully pursue and win a grant or they are ignorant of the range of possibilities in private, federal, or state-sourced funds available to them. With the emergence of economic stimulus money intended to assist nonprofits and government agencies suffering in the poor economic conditions, grant-writing is now a more relevant skill than ever before. This text can provide a multitude of benefits, including training existing staff with no prior experience to successfully pursue grant money, saving the cost of hiring a full-time grant writer, and serving as a complete guide for experienced grant writers seeking new options and techniques in obtaining operational funding. Getting Your Share of the Pie: The Complete Guide to Finding Grants also reveals the author's in-depth knowledge about the specific attributes the funding agencies look for via a digest of actual conversations with their representatives.

David G. Bauer "The 'How To' Grants Manual: Successful Grantseeking Techniques for Obtaining Public and Private Grants" Row an & Littl eld Publis hers | 2011 | ISBN: 1442204184 | 384 pages
David Bauer's "How To" Grants Manual has guided the step-by-step winning grants process of our faculty for the past six years. In that time, we have moved from about $1.5 million in external support to over $12 million. The process described in this book was a large factor in this increase. (James E. McLean )
Bauer's manual has become a standard in its field. If a library can only purchase one book on developing grant proposals, this one should be at or very near the top of the list. (Library Journal (On Fourth Edition) Library Journal (On Fourth Edition) )
When I was Dean of the School of Education and Human Services at Oakland University, we created a faculty fellows group with a faculty administrator and David Bauer as consultant. After about 18 months of using the processes outlined in The "How To" Grants Manual, external grant funding increased from approximately $500,000 to $1.2M in 2009. While external funding is an important measure, the real achievement was a change in the academic culture of the School. There was an increase in the number of grant applications as well as the number of faculty writing grants. The step by step system presented in the book provides faculty teams with a model that keeps them working together to accomplish the outcome—a new grant application! (Mary Otto )

Writing implementation research grant proposals: Ten key ingredients
Enola K Proctor, Byron J Powell, Ana A Baumann, Ashley M Hamilton and Ryan L Santens Implementation Science 2012, 7:96 doi:10.1186/1748-5908-7-96 Published: 12 October 2012
Abstract (provisional)
Background All investigators seeking funding to conduct implementation research face the challenges of preparing a high-quality proposal and demonstrating their capacity to conduct the proposed study. Applicants need to demonstrate the progressive nature of their research agenda and their ability to build cumulatively upon the literature and their own preliminary studies. Because implementation science is an emerging field involving complex and multilevel processes, many investigators may not feel equipped to write competitive proposals, and this concern is pronounced among early stage implementation researchers.
Discussion This article addresses the challenges of preparing grant applications that succeed in the emerging field of dissemination and implementation. We summarize ten ingredients that are important in implementation research grants. For each, we provide examples of how preliminary data, background literature, and narrative detail in the application can strengthen the application.
Summary Every investigator struggles with the challenge of fitting into a page-limited application the research background, methodological detail, and information that can convey the project's feasibility and likelihood of success. While no application can include a high level of detail about every ingredient, addressing the ten ingredients summarized in this article can help assure reviewers of the significance, feasibility, and impact of the proposed research.
