2.0 out of 5 starsJust the facts...
By Richard A. Kahn on May 26, 2007
Format: Hardcover
This is a pretty nuts and bolts approach to preparing an NIH grant and reads much like the pages on the NIH websites. It has nicely brought together a lot of the detailed information (different types of grants, different application deadlines, etc) that is on the NIH websites and into a somewhat more user friendly format. But do not think about buying this book to help you actually WRITE a grant. This is for novices who don't know a K01 from a P01. If looking for help in preparing the best possible grant, I suggest the books by Ogden or Yang.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood, but could be better
By Bradley Olson on March 22, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is a great overview of NIH grant writing, which programs you should submit your grant to and so forth.

However, the grant writing strategies are heavily focused on clinical studies an not basic science, so the last third of the book is only of modest use to those writing basic bench science grants.

The first half of the book is great for navigating all of the different NIH programs and deciding which program is best for you depending on which stage you are at in you career. This part of the book is very valuable since the NIH can be a bit of a maze.

I gave this a 3-star because the book claims to be much more than it really is. If you are submitting a clinical research grant, then this is the book for you. However, if you are a basic biomedical bench scientist, I would consider other of the books out there. Also there is almost no discussion of what to do after you submit, how to respond to criticism and improve your chances of being funded. This is almost half of the battle of getting a grant.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Best Manual Around
By G. T. Caltagirone on August 20, 2007
Format: Hardcover
I am surprised by the low rating. I completely disagaree. I highly recommend this book, escpically for beginners like me. If you are just starting or already in the world of grant writing, this book is a MUST. It takes the unceratinty and stress out of writing and the daunting task ahead. If you don't know where to start and need guidenace along the way without hiring a grant writer or delegating the responsibility to someone else in your organization, then get this book. I've scanned other books in this area, and they do not come close to what this book offers.

1.0 out of 5 starsSeriously Outdated Due to Changes at NIH
By Linda K. Popham on December 24, 2010
Format: Paperback
While we have long recommended this book to our classes, it has NOT been updated to reflect the radical changes NIH has made to its reviewing criteria, acceptable proposal length, and even the section names and purposes. (This is true for most books on grant writing you'll find here; anything with a copyright date before 2009 is guaranteed to be useless, and 2009 books are very iffy.)

5.0 out of 5 starsGives an excellent introduction to submitting an NIH grant
By prod_rev on July 6, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am planning on submitting an NIH SBIR grant. I got this book to get some info about this process, and have found the book to be an excellent introduction to this process. Most of the info presented in the book can of course be found elsewhere. But, the book does a very good job of organizing all these resources. In addition to info found elsewhere, it contains some new info such as:
* forming consortium is not that hard,
* make sure you address reviewers concerns immediately,
* a lot of specific advice on the actual writing such as the importance of telling a story.
