A Grant Proposal Guidebook: Planning, Writing and Submitting a Grant Proposal

As a grantmaking agency, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority regularly receives and reviews program descriptions and budgets. Sometimes these are wonderful - we know what is wanted and why, and what results to expect if federal funds are awarded. Too often, however, the writer misses the mark - even though the problem he or she hopes to address is important. If you've been asked to prepare a grant proposal and don't know where to begin, or if you're looking for a quick refresher, this booklet is for you. It is not definitive, but it does describe the basics of a grant proposal and how to go about putting it together.
