Abstract

Grant writing is deceptively complex. On the surface it seems to be a purely technical exercise—one that invites dismissal from academia because of its business-like nature. Consequently, most writing on granting takes a very practical, “how to” approach that seeks to guide a new grant writer through the process of making an application. I intend to argue that this approach is insufficient to understanding the complexities of grant writing as a field. The fact that granting has not gained footing in the fields of academic research is problematic and unreflective of the deep complexities functioning within the genre.
