Resumes with grant experience

[Nora von Gerichten <wlg -at- pacificcoast -dot- net>]

Because of the threads on resumes, I have been reconsidering mine.

I have done lots of R&D engineering grant writing where the emphasis was on 
writing rather than technology.  Grants give pedigree to a project that 
frequently leads to higher quality investors.  Is this a good thing to include?

If I include samples of the process (as required in grant applications) in 
my portfolio, and include the award amounts, seems to me it might be a good 
selling point.  What say you?

My track record with grant applications is excellent.  No one has every 
been denied one that I wrote the application for. Grants are often nested, 
so that once one is awarded others become available for larger amounts.  I 
have gotten about 15 clients at least one grant, the average is three. 
However, this is a very different kind of writing, as formats, styles, etc. 
are codified by whatever the granter specifies, usually most uncreative, 
and little to no TW involved.
