A well-written abstract will put you way ahead of the competition in grant review processes: administrative staff can process your application quickly and review boards get a perfect first impression of your project's essence and character. Since every funding organisation has different priorities, it is a waste of potential to write the abstract in the same way for every proposal. In this course, you learn rhethoric strategies how to start and structure an abstract that matches best to your targeted funding format. You will also learn keywords that? match to? various funding bodies. At the end of the course, you will apply what you have learned in a writing exercise.
