9781420802627: How to Write a REALLY Bad Grant Application (and Other Helpful Advice For Scientists)

Synopsis

Many people think that they do not need a book on "how to write a really bad grant application" - they already know how. Actually, this book is intended as a guide to writing grant applications that will get funded. One way to write a good grant application is to avoid writing a bad one. This book analyzes "bad" scientific grant applications from a humorous perspective. There are also some sections on obtaining funding from private foundations and industry, and a few parts that are pure silliness. All pieces in this book are original and are either fiction (the humor pieces) or non-fiction (the serious advice). The reader will hopefully be able to tell the two apart.

In addition to his serious scientific publications, Lloyd Fricker has published several dozen humor articles in a variety of journals (Annals of Improbable Research, The Journal of Irreproducible Results, and many others); some of these articles have been widely circulated on the internet.
