There are many resources on grant writing in science, technology and medicine, but most do not provide the practical advice needed to write the narratives of grant proposals. Designed to help novice and experienced investigators write compelling narratives and acquire research funding, this is a detailed guide to the content, organisation, layout, phrasing, and scientific argumentation of narratives. The authors draw on more than twenty years of research and analysis of grant proposals, having worked extensively with investigators at different levels, from pre-doctoral students to senior scientists. They have used this experience to design a framework for scientific writing that you can apply directly to narratives. The guidelines and advice offered are applicable across many funding agencies, including the NIH and NSF. Featuring many real-life examples, the book covers a range of topics, from organisational alternatives to best practices in grammar and editing, overview visuals, and working with contributors.

Mit der Verbreitung der Porträtfotografie und der Entstehung einer öffentlichen Bilderwelt in der Moderne entdeckten Schriftsteller die Fotografie als Medium der Selbstdarstellung - und Verleger als ideales Werbemittel. Die Entwicklung des Autorenfotos als Mittel der Literaturvermittlung im 19. Jahrhundert bildet den Ausgangspunkt dieser Studie. Auf der Grundlage von Verlagsprospekten und Buchumschlägen seit 1900 wird die Entwicklung der Ikonografie des Autors ebenso wie die legitimer Kontexte der Bildverwendung erstmals systematisch untersucht und dabei der Bedeutungswandel des Autorenfotos zwischen inhaltlicher Vermittlung und Marketing nachgezeichnet. Die Inszenierung des Klassikers ist dabei ein Schwerpunkt: Am Beispiel von Hermann Hesse und Franz Kafka wird nachgewiesen, dass die fotografische Inszenierung des Autors eine Form der symbolischen Kanonisierung ist - und welche Rolle Literaturverlage dabei spielen. Die Arbeit verbindet buchwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen mit Impulsen aus der aktuellen Bildforschung und liefert einen Beitrag zur literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsdebatte um die Inszenierung des Autors.
