The Third Edition of this practical book confronts the problems of writing a research proposal successfully and is the ideal tool for launching students into writing proposals for theses, dissertations and grants, and through one of the major barriers to an academic career.

Written in an accessible style, it provides both practical advice for the would-be writer and examples that show how effective proposal writing can be done. In this new edition the authors update their previous work with issues that have come to the forefront within the last five years. The book includes new chapters on ethics and verbal presentations; an expanded chapter on qualitative proposal writing; and updated sections on literature search,

Review:

"I was familiar with an earlier (3rd) version of this text. I thought it was an excellent resource for graduate students and faculty mentoring graduate student researchers and/or grant writers. I was equally impressed with the 5th edition of this text and have recommended it to all faculty in both of the departments in which I teach research courses." (Dr. Lorraine Pearl-Kraus 2011-02-25)
