Writing from the Winner's Circle: A Guide to Preparing Competitive Grant Proposals by Dr. David Stanley, was published by Nebraska EPSCoR in 1996 to assist researchers in Nebraska as they develop grant proposals and was also made available to researchers in other EPSCoR states at our cost of publishing and mailing. Due to continued interest in the booklet and with the encouragement of the EPSCoR staff at the National Science Foundation, through Nebraska EPSCoR the entire booklet is available on the world wide web. Neither the author nor Nebraska EPSCoR wishes to make any money from the publication. Thanks go to Dr. Stanley for his permission to publish the booklet in this form. We hope that its information will help anyone developing a research grant proposal, but republication or dissemination of this booklet for a fee is prohibited. Dr. Stanley’s preface and acknowledgments are available below.

Preface to First Edition

This booklet is about writing and submitting competitive grant proposals. It is addressed to colleagues who feel they may benefit from a quick look at the granting process. Royce Ballinger, [former] director of the Nebraska Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, usually known as EPSCoR programs, suggested this edition.
