Deadlines are important
Meeting deadlines is very important for you if you are writing any kind of grant for a specific library. While writing the grant letters to concerned departments, you should always adhere to deadlines. Missing a deadline means that you are out of luck and it will now depend on the grant issuing authorities to give you the desired amount or not. You should also need to understand that grant committees get many applications from different libraries around the world and they need to answer all those as well. Not only adhering to deadlines is important but you should also need to understand that all the paper work and applications you send, should be complete with the required information for the grant committee. Always make a note of the different grant deadlines and put them on your calendar for reference. Be sure to send out the grant applications well before the actual deadline date for a good chance of having your application read. -
