Grant writing may seem like an overwhelming and shudder inducing task. And this is with good reason. It can seem very daunting. Will you use the correct words? Will you be able to use the best sentence structure? What about your spelling and grammar? The best way to ensure you can handle the task of grant writing is to find out the purpose behind what you are writing and the approach you need to take. This will help you clear your head and make a good start. If you get everything right at the start, it will make the rest easier. The key to a successful grant application is research and preparation. Being prepared will help you to establish the tone and purpose of the grant application.
