David G. Bauer--acknowledged expert on grantsmanship--reveals that most institutions do not invest enough time, effort, or money into the grants process. Bauer offers grantseekers a dynamic, flexible, and adaptable system for the efficient procurement, and administration, of external funds. Already a popular guide for administrators, this new edition will ensure continued support as it demonstrates how to contact funding sources and submit proposals. In addition, Bauer offers ethical guidelines and practical management procedures, plus insight into budgets, records, and personnel management.
The principles outlined in this book are great. He also provides a ton of templates that you can use as a starting point. Unfortunately, it was written so long ago that much of the information is completely outdated so it's unreliable for specifics, especially for federal grants.
