Just wanted to drop you a note. I attended your grant writing [seminar] last fall as a first year faculty member in the entomology department at Purdue University. I had never written a major grant in my life. Although I was unable to attend your workshop in the winter/spring, I nevertheless submitted my USDA-AFRI grant later that summer and followed page-by-page the suggested structure proposed in your detailed manual. Despite having a mere 7% funding rate this year on account of drastic funding cuts at USDA, my grant was selected! Below are quotes from the two primary reviewers in my feedback:
"Finally, the PD should be commended on how well this grant was written in terms of scientific content, structure and clarity."
"This is a beautifully written grant proposal; one of the best I've seen in terms of organization, writing style, clarity, description and justification of methods, and argument for the value and importance of the research. It's a really strong piece of grantsmanship and the PDs are excellent scientists with established, exciting research programs who will be sure to publish the resulting studies in top-notch journals."
Anyhow, even though we never actually met while you were at Purdue, I wanted to say thanks for the help! I'm now a full-fledged believer in your approach!!!
