The art of funding and implementing ideas: a guide to proposal development and project management

This book was written in response to the needs of faculty and graduate students for a meaningful guide that starts where they begin a research project - with their very best ideas - and progresses in an orderly fashion to:

"Develop their starting ideas to the fullest

"Find sources of support that intersect most appropriately with their core interests

"Write a proposal that builds systematically on their ideas and interests and makes a beginning contribution to knowledge

"Conduct the project with innovative guidelines on project management that help the PI and the project team participate in and experience the excitement of bringing a research project to life
