A new section on special considerations for submitting grants addresses specific types of research including community-based participatory research, mixed methods, behavioral intervention research, and dissertation and , mentorship proposals. The new chapter on common writing challenges and solutions provides examples of strong and weak statements and highlights the importance of writing with precision. Additionally, this new edition provides an expanded section on post-award requirements and links to NIH videos about grant writing.

It is the only book to provide grant-writing information that encompasses many disciplines and to focus on building a research career with grant writing as a step-by-step process.

Good book for the right reader. If you are new to the grant writing world, and writing a mostly research oriented grant, this is the book for you. If you have more experience, or are seeking a grant for practice or program implementation, you may find it less relevant.

The textbook was a good resource. I mainly used it for a grant writing Ph.D. class.
