Stairway to grant heaven: grant writing and crowdfunding guide for young investigators in science

'Stairway to Grant Heaven' is a guide that prepares young investigators in science to step up to the challenge of funding their own research.

Writing a successful grant demands much more than a first-class inquisitive scientific mind, as young investigators soon discover.

The book presents the best strategies they should adopt to prepare themselves prior to taking the grant plunge.

It then helps them draft a reasonable budget plan, assemble a winning grant team, write a stellar preproposal, and reassure the funding agencies that the financial risk they take in investing in them will produce great returns.

The book also helps them write a grant title, abstract, and a specific aims section that highlight the significance, impact, and innovativeness of their project.
