"Grant writing is the practice of completing an application process for a financial grant provided by an institution such as a government department, corporation, foundation, or trust."
"Such application processes are often referred to as either a grant proposal or a grant submission."
"Successful grant writing requires a clear understanding of grantsmanship."
"Successful grant writers are able not only to mobilize knowledge about the form and content of the proposal documents but also the intertextual relationships of the specific proposal to other, related documents."
"The elements of proposal-creation typically involve: - Analyzing the intended audience for the proposal - Analyzing the purpose of the proposal - Gathering information about the subject of the proposal - Writing the proposal - Formatting the proposal - Revising, editing, and proofreading the proposal - Submitting the proposal"
"Correspondence with agency personnel, supplementary materials, budgets, general and agency-specific writing guidelines, etc."
"Analyzing the intended audience for the proposal."
"Gathering information about the subject of the proposal."
