From the AuthorAID Workshop on Research Writing, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 21–24 June 2010.

Provides guidance on English-language grammar, punctuation, word choice, etc.

Guidelines on who should be listed as an author, how the order of authors can be determined, and related items.

Good overview on authorship criteria and related subjects. Includes information on authorship guidelines and norms in various academic fields. From Wikipedia.

Advice on dealing with--and preventing--disagreements about who will be listed as an author. Also includes explanations of concepts related to authorship. From a publication of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Guidance from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) on writing a grant proposal. Although some of the content is specific to NIH, much of it applies to writing a grant proposal for any funding source. The bulleted lists of tips seem especially helpful. (Note: If you are applying for an NIH grant, be sure to use the newest instructions for the type of grant that you are seeking. The instructions sometimes change, and so some details in "Writing Your Application" might be out of date when you apply.)

Supplementary material from the AuthorAID Workshop on Research Writing Skills, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 17-21 May 2009. Lists style manuals and other books brought to the Bangladesh Academy of Sciences in conjunction with the workshop. Includes tables of contents.
