HORT603 - Grants and Grantsmanship Other Tips In proposal writing there is no substitute for having a clearly defined research problem. Carefully manage your time -- don't leave everything until the last minute. There is no substitute for good science and clear, concise writing. Seek advice from colleagues who are successful in grant-writing. Practice (grant writing is a learned skill). Volunteer to be a reviewer for agencies that fund proposals. Establish contact with key people in the agency. Be selective as to where you submit your proposal. "Sell" your proposal. www www.hort.purdue.edu David Rhodes Department of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture Horticulture Building 625 Agriculture Mall Drive Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907-2010 Last Update: 01/07/08
