Book Description
This highly acclaimed, best-selling book in the ACE Series has been created for novice grant seekers who need instruction on how to begin the grants process, as well as for seasoned grant seekers who want to learn new techniques to save time and increase their success rate. Now in its seventh edition, this book will help you work smarter, not harder, in the pursuit of grant support. Several colleges that use this system report success rates of 75 percent. This new edition of The “How To” Grants Manual seeks to improve success rates to an even higher percentage.
Advances in technology and changes in grants and research programs ― due to changing institutional budget priorities ― have prompted the author’s preparation of this seventh edition. Revisions to grant-seeking strategies have caused the author, working with grantors and advisory groups, to retool the manual’s worksheets and communications templates. These extremely useful supplementary materials are available by contacting textbooks@rowman.com. Please send an email, and our textbooks coordinator will be able to send you the materials.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“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, PhD, executive director and research professor emeritus, Center for Community-Based Partnerships, The University of Alabama
“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
“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, Vice President Outreach, Oakland University
“Advances in technology and changes in grants and research programs have encouraged the publishing of this new edition, which strives to improve success rates, allowing grant seekers to work smarter, not harder.” ―Presidency
