Summary
The main purpose of discussing grant writers in this chapter is not to determine which response is right or wrong. Instead, the chapter is intended to demonstrate the diversity and complexity of grant writers and to motivate new grant writers to pursue grants bravely, as the title of this book suggests. Several real-life cases are reviewed first, followed by a study of the scientific literature on grant writers and a comparison of grant writers to article writers, and finally several practical suggestions are offered for becoming grant writers and starting to pursue grants.
