Review: The most influential people in the world depend on researchers, and many researchers depend on funding. Here, Abby Day Lewis has talked to people who are successful at obtaining research funding as well as the people who funded them. She examines the reasons for looking for funding, the value of research, and research partnerships. These team partnerships bring their own challenges, as the author explains. Amongst other topics, she discusses how to assess partner needs; how proposals are assessed and chosen; and how to manage, monitor and evaluate a research partnership.
