Do you all have any favorite introductory literature, online or otherwise, on the overall process of obtaining grants?

My advice would be to talk to as many people who have gone through the process as possible. The process is extremely competitive, so any insight about the process or advice about the focus of your research would be a great help.

Also, here is a link for more information http://www.grants.gov/

My program keeps a file of successful grant applications from students who have gotten funding in the past. You should ask around for a similar resource at your school--I found it very helpful when I wrote a grant.

good advice, particularly from the perspective of private money/grants. Some universities will have pots of money that are earmarked for specific purposes and can be slightly less competitive.
