Synopsis

Previous editions of this bestselling book have helped over 100,000 students and professionals write effective proposals for dissertations and grants. The expanded Fourth Edition successfully covers all aspects of the proposal process, from the most basic questions about form and style to the task of seeking funding. The authors update their previous work with: a discussion of the effects of new technologies and the Internet on the proposal process; a new chapter on funding for student research; a totally revised chapter on qualitative research; and two completely new specimen proposals. Clear, accessible and reader-friendly the book provides both practical advice for the would-be writer and lengthy examples that show how effective proposal writing can be done.
