Paul Chapin's guide to writing proposals for scientific research
can be used by scientists in any discipline who submit papers to
funding agencies to gain support for their research projects. A
longtime program officer at the National Science Foundation, Chapin
treats the proposal as one part of a larger process of planning a
research project, which makes it easier to write and more likely to
be effective. The book differs from other guides by treating
proposal writing in the larger context of project planning from an
insider's perspective. Paul G. Chapin became the first director of
the NSF Linguistics Program when it was established in October
1975. He continued as NSF's Program Director for Linguistics until
1999, with three interruptions: one year serving as Deputy Division
Director for Behavioral and Neural Sciences, one year's detail as a
staff associate to the head of the Office of Information Systems,
and a year's sabbatical leave to study mathematics at George
Washington University. From 1999 until his retirement in 2001,
Chapin served as a senior program officer for cross-disciplinary
activities at the NSF. On the occasion of his retirement, the NSF
presented him with the Director's Superior Accomplishment Award,
and the Linguistic Society of America awarded him the first annual
Victoria A. Fromkin Award for Distinguished Service to the
Profession.
