By Sean Ekins

As an academic or a small business owner, grants are an essential part of your career. Whether you’re seeking funding for research or starting a new venture, the ability to write and win grants is crucial. But what does it take to succeed in this competitive landscape? How can you stand out from the crowd and secure the financial support you need?

In his book, “How to Win Grants: A Scientist’s Guide to Grant Writing,” Sean Ekins offers a unique perspective on the world of grantsmanship. Drawing on his extensive experience in securing grants from prestigious institutions like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DOD), Ekins shares valuable insights and practical advice to help you navigate the grant writing process and increase your chances of success.

One of the key points Ekins emphasizes is the importance of connecting with the reviewers. Grants are often reviewed by a committee of experts who assess the merit and feasibility of each proposal. To win their favor, you need to give them what they want. Ekins delves into the strategies and techniques that can help you make a powerful connection with the reviewers, ensuring that your proposal stands out from the rest.

But it’s not just about impressing the reviewers; you also need to connect with the program officers and decision-making committees. Ekins sheds light on the various stakeholders involved in the grant funding process and provides guidance on how to effectively engage with them.

While writing a strong scientific proposal is essential, Ekins reminds readers that winning grants goes beyond just out-writing the competition. It requires out-thinking, out-strategizing, and even out-schmoozing your competitors. The author shares tips and tricks to help you outperform your peers and secure the funding you need.

Throughout the book, Ekins shares personal anecdotes and examples from his own successful grant applications. This further enhances the practicality and relatability of the book, providing readers with tangible insights they can apply to their own grant writing endeavors.

“How to Win Grants” isn’t just about writing better proposals; it’s about winning grants consistently. Ekins encourages readers to adopt a mindset of continuous improvement and adaptation. What worked a few years ago may not work today, so it’s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies, and funding priorities. With Ekins’ guidance, readers will be inspired to not only write great grants but also build successful careers and companies through grant funding.

Ordering a copy of “How to Win Grants” is not just an investment in your grant writing skills; it’s an investment in your future. By learning from Ekins’ expertise and experiences, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence needed to compete in the highly competitive world of grantsmanship.
