We’ve recently added Proposals That Work : A Guide for Planning Dissertations and Grant Proposals to our online collection.
This book covers all aspects of the proposal process, from the most basic questions about form and style to the task of seeking funding. What makes this book great is that there are several proposal examples to help you visualize the end product of a proposal.
In the newest edition, the authors have included a discussion of the effects of new technologies and the Internet on the proposal process. There are new sections covering alternative forms of proposals and dissertations and the role of academic rigor in research.
This book is a great resource for anyone beginning to work on their dissertation or grant proposal as well as those who are interested in brushing up on their writing skills.
