Comments on: Grant Writing Part 4: How Hard is it to Write a Grant? http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2009/11/grant-writing-part-3-how-hard-is-it-to-write-a-grant/ Freelance Writing Jobs for All Writers Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:25:11 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: LIsa http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/2009/11/grant-writing-part-3-how-hard-is-it-to-write-a-grant/comment-page-1/#comment-119075 LIsa Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:51:38 +0000 http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com/?p=6022#comment-119075 This is really interesting: I've been writing grants for more than twenty years, and NOT ONCE have I been asked to do anything more math-intensive than a very, very basic budget. I don't write the budgets, the budget narratives, or the budget forms. I simply do the grant narrative and the abstract. Oddly, perhaps, no one has ever even asked me to do their budgets... Interesting! This is really interesting: I’ve been writing grants for more than twenty years, and NOT ONCE have I been asked to do anything more math-intensive than a very, very basic budget.

Interesting!

I've always been hired for the entire package, which I find difficult and consuming, which is probably why I don't do it so much anymore! ooohhh I just read your other post that you don’t do that stuff? must be nice.
