Exactly How to Write a Proposal: An Excellent Powerpoint by Dr Jocalyn Clark

From Canadian funder Grand Challenges, http://www.grandchallenges.ca , see the link below for an excellent presentation about how to write compelling proposals. A key element of their presentation is why "upside down triangles," which deliver the point you want your reader to know at the beginning, are so much stronger as a writing method than meandering paragraphs that only get to the point at the end. They offer several excellent examples about how to write fewer words and deliver stronger impact. I am happy to help you employ the techniques they demonstrate in this presentation in my edit. It can be difficult when you've written the material to see what you can cut and keep the same (in fact, a better!) message. Another set of eyes can make all the difference in whether you get that funding or not. http://www.grandchallenges.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5-Key-Statements-for-a-Grant-Proposal.pdf
