abstract: Translating a research idea into a well-written grant proposal takes planning and commitment. This Spotlight is the fifth in a series by the members of the Center for Clinical Investigation (CCI) of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses (WOCN) Society. The aim of this series is to facilitate high-quality grant writing and encourage submissions to WOCN's grants program. This article provides guidance on the development of a grant proposal and the revisions necessary to result in a polished final product.
