Previous editions of this book have helped well over 100,000 students and professionals write effective proposals for dissertations and grants. Covering all aspects of the proposal process, from the most basic questions about form and style to the task of seeking funding, Proposals That Work offers clear advice backed up with excellent examples. In its fifth edition, the authors have integrated a discussion of the effects of new technologies and the Internet on the proposal process with URLs listed where appropriate. In addition, there are new sections covering alternative forms of proposals and dissertations and the role of academic rigor in research. As always, the authors have included a number of specimen proposals, two that are completely new to this edition, to help shed light on the important issues surrounding the writing of proposals. Clear, straightforward, and reader-friendly, Proposals That Work is a must-own for anyone considering writing a proposal for a thesis, a dissertation, or a grant.Key Features:Four example proposals ('specimens') from experimental, qualitative, quasi-experimental, and grant renewal research, each with accompanying commentary and constructive criticismUpdated and expanded information on software and alternative suggestions to cover the wide range of resources available and used.ááFull chapters devoted to ethics, common mistakes in proposal writing, funding, the qualitative research proposal, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Focus your ideas into a practical proposal., 2 Feb 2002
By bearwrite@aol.com (Orange County, US) - See all my reviews
As someone who works privately with students and researchers in a variety of fields, I give this book my highest recommendation. The essence of any research project is the proposal. For dissertation students, the proposal is the blueprint for the entire dissertation process. For researchers in all fields, the research proposal is the most important vehicle for securing funding. When clients contact me in regard to assistance with their proposal, I recommend that they buy this book and use it as a reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing, 2 Oct 2008
I am a physiotherapy student, I bought this book before I embarked on my dissertation, hoping it would help but I found it very complicated and not easy to read.
