The "How To" Grants Manual

Reviews / Votes

David Bauer's The "How To" Grants Manual has quickly become my go-to guide. I refer to it often when submitting individual grant applications. But even more important for me are the sections on developing a personal grants plan and working with quality circles. Both of these practices are game changers! -- Holland Hopson, Assistant Professor of Arts Entrepreneurship, New College & Department of Art and Art History, The University of Alabama Our university uses The "How To" Grants Manual by David G. Bauer as a companion piece to a professional development program for our tenured and tenure-track faculty. This book reinforces all the best grant seeking practices and sets our researchers up with a solid foundation of skills to succeed in this challenging landscape. This book makes our jobs as research administrators easier! -- Lori Gabriel, CRA, executive director, Research & Sponsored Programs, Wake Forest University I first encountered David G. Bauer's The "How To Grants Manual in 1986 and have used it as my personal grant Bible since. I first attended one of David's seminars in 1995. Since that time, I have hired David to teach seminars at three institutions and have used The "How To" as the seminar text because of how it demystifies the grants process and provides the strategies and techniques necessary for successful grantseeking. I most recently used it with university-community teams at The University of Alabama to address community needs. The five cohorts David has taught and coached using The "How To" Grants Manual have funded community programs for approximately one hundred million dollars! For this reason, I am pleased to recommend the ninth edition. -- James E. McLean, PhD, executive director and research professor emeritus, Center for Community-Based Partnerships, The University of Alabama I have had the opportunity to participate in the David G. Bauer Winning Grants and Sustaining Communities Program on multiple occasions with various cohorts and each experience has been a highly rewarding and professional experience. As a component of that program, I have become remarkably familiar with The "How To" Grants Manual and it has become a primary reference in my professional library. Mr. Bauer's expertise and communication of content are exceptional and unsurpassed. As an educational consultant and former superintendent of schools, I can attest to the practicality, usefulness , and timeliness of the work. I enthusiastically endorse the ninth edition of The "How To" Grants Manual as an invaluable resource for those seeking grant funding. -- Faron L. Hollinger, EdD, president & CEO, The Akribos Groups
