Download or read book Reviewer Focused Grant Writing written by Barrett T. Vaughan and published by Barrett T. Vaughan. This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increase Your Chances at Winning Grants with Insights from a Review Panel Manager! "Increase my chances? That's no guarantee!" you might be saying. Well, to be honest, no book can legitimately make any promises that you will win grants. None of them can, not even mine. However, most books on grant writing will show you tools and strategies for improving your proposal. "OK. So, why should I buy your book?" I think you should get as many resources as necessary to prepare yourself to write the best proposal possible. Reviewer-Focused Grant Writing complements other books by offering something that they might not--the perspective of the review panel. "Hmm. Now, what does that mean... to me?" Reviewer-Focused Grant Writing was written to give you a better understanding of how the review process works and how the panel reviewers tend to think. It outlines the three major aspects of your proposal which are the presentation, the content, and the value. Each of these is important to the panel reviewer. This book will help you understand and manage these aspects. For example, it tells about how you can: - lay out pages for better reading - make your plan more clear and cohesive - format your budget to be easily understood - obtain letters of support that impress reviewers - do much more. "That's good. But, what's the bottom line?" Reviewer-Focused Grant Writing puts you in the mindset of the reviewers. You will gain a competitive edge through understanding how they think. In the reviewers' eyes, most proposals will fall into the "Just OK" category; this book can help you to avoid mistakes that give panel reviewers a reason to lump you in with the others. As a bonus, this book provides you with an insightful questionnaire for you and others to review your proposal. "Sounds interesting, but I don't know. There are a lot of good books out there." Reviewer-Focused Grant Writing is one of them, and it's affordable. If you still need more convincing, scroll up and download a free sample! Or, you can even "Look Inside" the book.

Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.
