qGrant writing is a competitive situation – if you want to be successful in winning a grant
your grant application must stand out from all the other applicants.

and a good level of written communication skills to complete the process effectively.
qIt is certainly not a simple or quick activity and requires certain knowledge and skills.

qA grant submission is usually reviewed by experts, so the grant writer needs to have
done their research and provide information within the submission that demonstrates
the ability of the applicant to utilise the grant funding effectively and efficiently.

qThe grant writer needs to be organised and methodical to cover all expected
components in their grant submission.

guidelines and creating for themselves a list of requirements that they will work
through to write the grant submission.
