"The art of grantsmanship will not turn mediocre science into a fundable grant proposal. However, poor grantsmanship will, and often does, turn very good science into an unfundable grant proposal. Good writing will not save bad ideas, but bad writing can kill good ones".
— Jacob Kraicer, MD, PhD, Professor Department of Physiology Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto
