"This book, without a doubt, will be a must-have for early-career researchers and for more experienced ones. I've attended quite a number of grant writing workshops and webinars; this book answers all of the critical questions in the most clear and straightforward fashion. Being a bit egoistical, I hope that my immediate 'competitors' will miss on this brilliant work, so I'll have enormously larger chances to be funded."
