Well done. I recommend for the advanced beginner who is maybe ready to write a first grant. Easy to read. It provides a good overview of basics, and readers may need mentors and other resources/knowledge to write a meticulous research proposal and grant. Chapter 3 has valuable lists of types of grants, but I got bogged down in reading lists; readers are looking for a specific grant for a specific project are likely to find it more engaging; for me it's a resource. Seems up-to-date. Chapter 2, "Where to begin?", is a highlight and great start.
