A career in science relies on developing the skill to convince strangers to give you enormous sums of money. So why do so many scientists write terrible research proposals? Grant Writing from the Ground Up presents a step-by-step process to construct compelling grant proposals that rise to the top of a reviewer's stack. “This book, without a doubt, will be a must-have for early-career researchers and for more experienced ones. I’ve attended quite a number of grant writing workshops and webinars; this book answers all of the critical questions in the most clear and straightforward fashion. Being a bit egoistical, I hope that my immediate ‘competitors’ will miss on this brilliant work, so I’ll have enormously larger chances to be funded.”–Ilia L.
