Covering all aspects of the proposal process, from the most basic questions about form and style to the task of seeking funding, this volume offers clear advice backed up with excellent examples. Included are a number of specimen proposals to help shed light on the important issues surrounding the writing of proposals. The Guide is a clear, straight-forward, and reader-friendly tool.

Guide to Effective Grant Writing: How to Write a Successful NIH Grant Application PDF

This book in my initial 'skim-read' appears to focus on nuts and bolts of NIH proposals, which is welcome because there are lots of other books that deal with the general craft of proposal writing. The problem with this book is that it spends appreciable pages focusing on the "old-style" NIH proposal, i.e. the 25 page R01 with Specific Aims, Introduction, Background, Progress and Experimental design sections. This proposal format, though, will be replaced with a shorter form proposal in 2010.

This is a great, quick read that is clear and can help you focus on key topics in preparing an NIH grant. I particularly like the emphasis on clarity of writing and making an interesting story, instead of the usual drudgery. It is short enough that you can read it in one sitting, before sitting down to write. It is much less detailed than the Ogden book, "Research Proposals", with a different emphasis, on clarity of writing. If you are looking for a book for a class, I'd suggest Ogden. But if looking for a quick read for the novice to get them started the Yang book is great, due to its brevity and clarity.
