The most difficult type of grant application is NIH (the US National Insitutes of Health). Everyone panics over their application, even my former boss who had got loads of grants. I've been asked to do an application in 3 weeks. The website is impenetrable, I've only just managed to find somewhere it tells me what "sections a-d" should be in the main description of my project.
At US universities they have special people who are employed just to format and prepare these applications. Our grants office said "oh yes, that's the American one, isn't it? I think one person has applied for one, ask her".
Currently reading: lots of impenetrable web pages. Haven't yet finished the PD James because it's not that exciting. Have however started reading 3 other books (oops).
