In short, she delivers with the utmost integrity. Anita F. White, Principal, Littleton Elementary School, Avondale, Arizona

Debra clearly sees her role as one of a collaborator and does not hesitate to make the investment of time and attention-to-detail necessary to provide quality work. I learned a great deal from her through the course of our collaboration together.

For several years, he worked full-time as a grant writer for a nonprofit corporation in southern California, securing several hundred thousand dollars from foundations and government agencies for maintaining a homeless shelter and for building and equipping a child development center. A grant proposal must match the grant givers criteria for awarding grants, says Dr. Glenn. The proposal presents an argument, supported by compelling evidence, to persuade the grant giver that your organization, more than any other applicant, should receive the award."

She has worked with Mohegan Community College, Visiting Nurses Associations, and graduate students to successfully obtain grant money for projects. One student obtained $1,000.00 to pay for the "Winston Man" to talk to High School students on the dangers of smoking. The graduate student evaluated the impact of his talk. Dr. Lawrence was also a member of a committee that received a $1,000,000.00 Robert Wood Johnson grant for Hartford Hospital in CT for hospital redesign. She was also successful in receiving funding for her own research projects:

-- Communications with Unconscious Patients through heart Rate Variability
-- A Prospective Study of Near-Death Experiences
-- Effectiveness of a Writing for Publication Seminar Series on Publishing Behaviors
-- Recollections of Previously Unconscious Patients.
-- Impact of a Writing for Publication Workshop on Writing Behaviors.
-- Impact of a Physical Assessment Course on Nursing Practice.
-- An investigation of the Knowledge Base Used by Critical Care Nurses. (Doctoral dissertation, funded)

Dr. Lawrence's research received national attention on television and the public media. She is also a book author, convention speaker, hypnotherapist, newsletter editor and health care consultant.

I am a developing writer with traditional issues. Poor grammar, weak punctuation and tendency to write long unclear sentences are just a few of my issues. Madelaine provided suggestions and corrections in a very helpful and constructive manner. Her style has encouraged me to continue working on my writing skills. I would strongly recommend her. Contact info on request.

Madelaine was a Godsend. She saved my sanity and my masters project. She helped me to tighten up my masters project and to synthesize the information that I had into a workable document. Alan Ford, RN, UNC Scope: Grantwriting; dissertation advising, health promotion, research, hypnotherapy
