I just started my postdoc and was confused about the whole grant writing business. This book solved it. Period. It is written in a simple language and offers an approach to generate research ideas, develop a research concept, and write a grant proposal. I especially liked the downloadable resources.

About the Author

I am a researcher at ETH University domain in Switzerland. Working in academia is my dream come true but given my origins, the odds were stacked against me. You see, I grew up in a working-class family in a country that barely anyone has heard of, and I studied at a second-rate university that did not even provide access to research papers. My background did not stop me from earning a Ph.D. in the USA and getting a position at one of the world's best research institutions. This journey was possible only because I developed strong academic communication skills that I will share with you in the Peer Recognized book series. Where did I acquire the skills? To learn telling about my research, I attended courses on public speaking, analyzed great presenters in action, and before my TEDx talk, I even had one-on-one lessons from a theater director. These are skills that no one teaches in graduate school. And even if they did, it most likely the advice would be bad because academics are, for the most part, awful presenters (just recall the number of presentations that start with an "outline").To master writing impactful research papers, I discussed scientific writing with editors of major academic journals, took advice from people who have published in Nature, and read many books about human psychology. To learn writing winning research proposals, I attended a business incubator and even presented my research to angel investors.After years of refining my skills, I can see the work has paid off. Even though literature was far from my favorite subject in school, writing research papers has become one of my favorite tasks. I feel butterflies in my stomach every time I see a new citation of my papers. Knowing that my work is making an impact pushes me to come up with new research ideas, and I have authored many research projects. Finally, knowing how to present my work in conferences and on the internet allows me to connect with many scientists and join exciting collaborative research projects.Every day I enjoy being able to do a job I am passionate about. Getting here was only possible because of the academic communication skills that I developed. In the five Peer Recognized series books, I will show you how to acquire these skills without annoying theater directors and journal editors. Go to https: //peerrecognized.com to learn more.

If you follow the steps in this book, a stunning research proposal will follow.Will this be available in Kindle format?

Because I've been in the business of academic grant writing for almost 30 years, I was skeptical that Dr. Zaumanis's book would present anything that I hadn't seen before. Boy, was I wrong! Just the idea of using a project canvas (which he includes on his website) to lay out the elements of the grant is worth the price of the book. I mentor many PhD students, and, in future, I will require them to purchase and use a copy of "Write a Winning Research Proposal" because it will make both our lives easier!

This book is amazing! I'm already implementing the tips in my work and I've already ordered the 1st book "Write an impactful research paper".In the book you can see what the author means when he says to think about a research proposal as a story to be told; it's really like to experience a vivid journey through the proposal story. Wonderful work indeed.Looking forward to reading more and seeing how the story ends.

A must-read book for young scientists

A.C. · April 25, 2024

I am a young scientist with 2 unsuccessful research grant applications. As I was trying to write research proposals out of thin air with no experience in that type of writing, I finally realised I needed help and this book and the other books of the series grabed my attention.The book is readable, and full of useful tips and templates. Wish me good luck with my next research proposal. :)

An complex topic made easy.

A.A.u. · April 30, 2023

The book is written in simple and clear language. No fuzziness hiding behind pretentious words and "smart" sentences that I have seen in other books on writing research proposals. The reading is made even easier through the many useful (and occasionally fun) illustrations. I highly recommend the book.
