ABSTRACT:
A guide to writing effective proposals that are designed to funding for specific projects is presented. The need to clearly identify the nature
of project--its design, its anticipated outcomes, and the needs which
the project is addressing--is described as the crucial first step in the
grantswriting process. Next, the importance of the prospectus (a capsule
version of the proposal) is examined--what it is and its components. The
proposal structure and content is then discussed within the following
areas: (1) the need/problem being addressed; (2) the objectives to be
achieved; (3) the methodology that is planned for achieving the objectives;
and (4) how much the project is anticipated to cost. The budgetary process
is examined in a separate chapter with discussions on anticipating project
costs, the standard costs to be considered, and indirect costs. Some thoughts
concerning matching funds are also included. Finally, the handbook presents
information on the variety of support services that the Oklahoma State
University's Office of Education Research provides to assist researchers
in their search for external funding for research, instructional, or service
activities. (GLR)
