    A state-of-the-art guide for developing grants witha strong emphasis on using program outcome measurement to underscore need and accountability

Problems or issues that arise frequently are highlighted and followed by specific advice. In addition, numerous real-world examples and exercises are included throughout the book to give readers the opportunity for reflection and practice.

    This timely reference incorporates a strengths perspective, providing:

    • Specific examples of successful grant proposals and evaluation plans and instruments serving as models for learning and practice

    • Field-tested individual and group exercises that facilitate the development of grant writing and evaluation skills

    • Discussion of electronic technology in grant writing and evaluation, including writing and submitting grant proposals online, and identifying funding sources

    This grant writing and program evaluation guide follows a needs-driven, evidence-based, result-oriented, and client-centered perspective. Its authoritative discussion equips human service professionals to effectively develop grants with a strong emphasis on measuring program outcomes.

      This book is very interesting to read and shows an individual looking for grants what they should do in order to obtain one. While this was a textbook for a course I took it also had a lot of value outside of that particular classroom environment. If you are wishing to work for an organization and try to help them obtain any type of funding this book will give you some of the necessary tools in order to do that. Do not worry that the title states it is for Human Service individuals. Recognize much of it could help you in any branch of work.
