This book was written in response to the needs of faculty and graduate students for a meaningful guide that starts where they begin a research project - with their very best ideas - and progresses in an orderly fashion to:
"Develop their starting ideas to the fullest
"Find sources of support that intersect most appropriately with their core interests
"Write a proposal that builds systematically on their ideas and interests and makes a beginning contribution to knowledge
"Conduct the project with innovative guidelines on project management that help the PI and the project team participate in and experience the excitement of bringing a research project to life "This book will be of significant value to quite a few doctoral students and faculty members, especially in the arts, humanities, the less experimental social sciences and related professional schools." -- Robert P. Lowman
