Project Management Class: The Art of Funding and Implementing Ideas: A Guide to Proposal Development and Project Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent book for Teachers, Researchers, Librarians and NGOs. It provides a sound roadmap for preparing and submitting a grant proposal. The authors have in-the-trenches experience that really shows in the way they give practical advice and explain insider information about the grants process. I think it is a must-read for those involved in education and community service. At first I thought it was a bit expensive, but with the skills you learn it's a real bargain.
