Overview

Two 90-minute video cassettes. The grant application process is long, challenging, and highly competitive, but the reward is great. To give you the edge, Jones and Bartlett offers this set of videos which records a seminar presented by Dr. Liane Reif-Lehrer on the psychology and mechanics of successful grant writing. In these videos, Dr. Reif-Lehrer presents topics critical for successfully completing the grant application process including: understanding the review process and the reviewer, planning, and writing the research plan, and how to clearly communicate within the grant application itself. Dr. Reif-Lehrer provides an inside perspective as she reviews administrative information about the application process and practical guidelines for outlining, drafting, and editing the grant application. Important details about funding agencies such as the NIH and NSF and what their reviewers look for are highlighted. These videos are an excellent investment for grant offices, libraries, and every department actively working on grants. They provide an ideal training course for research associates. Both new and experienced applicants will find useful information and guidance in this presentation.
