| Theatre as a Medium for Children and Young People: Images and Observations (Landscapes: the Arts, Aesthetics, and Education)
by Shifra Schonmann (Author)
This book is a journey into the dual territory of educational and theatrical settings. It advances the knowledge in these settings by touching upon provocative questions, by dealing with the limitations and challenging the new possibilities of theatre for young people. It is an attempt to bring intellectual rigour and some theoretical perspectives drawn from recent theatre and aesthetic theory to the field of theatre for young people. It fills the gap in the literature on theatre for young...

by L. Bresler (Editor)
This book aims to define new theoretical, practical, and methodological directions in educational research centered on the role of the body in teaching and learning.

Product Description
Guide to Effective Grant Writing: How to Write a Successful NIH Grant is written to help the 100,000+ post-graduate students and professionals who need to write effective proposals for grants. There is little or no formal teaching about the process of writing grants for NIH, and many grant applications are rejected due to poor writing and weak formulation of ideas. Procuring grant funding is the central key to survival for any academic researcher in the biological sciences; thus, being able to write a proposal that effectively illustrates one's ideas is essential. Covering all aspects of the proposal process, from the most basic questions about form and style to the task of seeking funding, this volume offers clear advice backed up with excellent examples. Included are a number of specimen proposals to help shed light on the important issues surrounding the writing of proposals. The Guide is a clear, straight-forward, and reader-friendly tool. Guide to Effective Grant Writing: How to Write a Successful NIH Grant Writing is based on Dr. Yang's extensive experience serving on NIH grant review panels; it covers the common mistakes and problems he routinely witnesses while reviewing grants. |

Rapidly becoming outdated by C. Ackerson (Palo Alto, CA)  3 Stars
September 22, 2009
This book in my initial 'skim-read' appears to focus on nuts and bolts of NIH proposals, which is welcome because there are lots of other books that deal with the general craft of proposal writing. The problem with this book is that it spends appreciable pages focusing on the "old-style" NIH proposal, i.e. the 25 page R01 with Specific Aims, Introduction, Background, Progress and Experimental design sections. This proposal format, though, will be replaced with a shorter form proposal in 2010.

an excellent concise guide to writing grants by Lorant Janosi (Houston, TX USA)  5 Stars
November 24, 2008
I would highly recommend this book, because it's very helpful in organizing one's thoughts on how to write down a great idea into a grant proposal. It has specific guides for NIH grants, but I believe the general guidelines are valid for any grant writing.
Also, the details on how to organize, what to write, what are the common errors, are very clear and extremely helpful. The given fictitious example (at each section of a grant) helps the reader understand the author's message.

Exactly what I needed. by Mary Anastasia Blaise (St Claire Shores, Michigan) 5 Stars
October 02, 2007
Leave it to a guy at UCLA to write the perfect "how to" write a grant. Dr Yang's book was recommended by colleagues at UCLA, and they were right on the money. Very helpful for those of us not altogether familiar with the process. Unless you are an expert (in which case you would be writing your own book), this should be in your library.

Great quick read regarding NIH grant writing by Richard A. Kahn (Atlanta, GA)  4 Stars
May 26, 2007
This is a great, quick read that is clear and can help you focus on key topics in preparing an NIH grant. I particularly like the emphasis on clarity of writing and making an interesting story, instead of the usual drudgery. It is short enough that you can read it in one sitting, before sitting down to write. It is much less detailed than the Ogden book, "Research Proposals", with a different emphasis, on clarity of writing. If you are looking for a book for a class, I'd suggest Ogden. But if looking for a quick read for the novice to get them started the Yang book is great, due to its brevity and clarity.

Excellent, Excellent Book..... by M. Express (New Mexico USA) 5 Stars
February 09, 2007
I have worked with the NIH for quite some time. I also worked at the University of Pittsburgh for more than 4 years doing research with the NIH. This is an indispensible book. It goes very well paired with "Government Funding and You". I'd highly suggest both books.
