1. Read the instructions. Re-read them. Just knowing what the granting agency requires and meeting their expectations will put you ahead of the competition.
2. Do your homework about the goals and mission of the agency, the type and size of grants they award, the due date, and the biases of the likely grant reviewers.
3. Get honest feedback from people who know about grant-writing (not just family & friends). Experts will see the obvious problems in your application. Revise and revise and revise. Be thick-skinned about criticisms -- they will save you from disappointment and months of wasted time and effort.
