Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Most good writing requires 3 to a dozen re-writes. Never submit a proposal that only you have read! #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Do you want to know a vendor will stand behind their product? Your attention to “evaluation” is your funder’s guarantee. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: What is an “outcome” and why is it core funder vocabulary? Funders are out to change the world. Each “outcome” you deliver helps them achieve that. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Use charts, tables and graphics to help make your case and keep your reviewer’s mind fresh. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Remind yourself, reviewers are looking for reasons to skip past your hard work, in order to reduce their own workload. Don’t give them any! #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Find yourself a mentor by engaging with those whose work you most admire. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Keep your own detailed background budget with notes as you prepare the funder’s forms. It will help you write the budget narrative. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Budget writing is a creative process of project design. A clear budget goes a long way toward achieving your funding aspirations. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Do effective academics toss aside papers that aren’t published with the first submission? Don’t expect to get funded the first time either. You only get funded if you (re)submit! #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Separating your Self from your Writing is a key challenge in becoming an effective writer. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: The hardest part of writing is getting outside your own head to be able to recognize what may be unclear to others. A reader will see what you say with different eyes. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: In general, your proposal story will convey why, what, how, where, when and who. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Grant writing is persuasive writing – you must attend to both the heart and head of your reviewer. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: If your research involves people, you’ll need permission from your IRB (Institutional Review Board) before proceeding. Often you can do this post-submission, but it’s essential for accepting funding! #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Contact government funders to test your ideas; if you listen carefully you’ll hear guidance on how to approach and write about your project. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Funders will tell you what they want to hear from you, so listen and read carefully. Use the funder’s language and outline. #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj

Biddy Bird Grants Advice: Ask an expert for guidance if you have any uncertainty about what something means in a request for proposals. Don’t assume you know! #MSU_EHHD bit.ly/2BGtNXj
