[ATTW-L] Bibliography on grant writing

Mon Oct 14 10:54:36 UTC 2019

Hi Clancy,

I’ve been teaching grant and proposal writing for about 10 years and collecting articles from across disciplines. Here are a few specifically from our field to get you started (some more broadly on proposals, not just grants) and a few from other fields below that. This list is far from comprehensive. I have a repository of more citations if you need them.

I’m sure I left out many from our field given that I just grabbed a few citations that might be relevant, so I’m looking forward to seeing other people’s additions. But perhaps these will get you started.

Hi everyone,

I've been searching in my usual haunts for some scholarship on grant proposal writing, but without success. Do any of you have a bibliography or know of one online?

Thanks,
