BIBLIOGRAPHY
Selected Resources on Grant Writing

It would be hard to say when I first became aware of books on how to write successful grant proposals. It seems to me that writing these has become a cottage industry. Maybe some people begin by getting a couple of grant funded, then, in a completely, totally humanitarian gesture, they move into helping others by writing books on the topic. My completely, totally humanitarian gesture follows, in the form of a brief bibliography of several completely, totally humanitarian gestures. These resources are available in most university libraries.
