It emphasizes on the need to do something to raise the quality of research and the grant proposals which are received for funding.

The first part is on "grant writing, defense, and implementation" and covers scientific research and development, research and academics, funding for research, evaluation and funding of research grants, writing a research grant, defending a research grant, and frequently asked questions related to the topics. The second part is on "management of research programs" and covers function of science administration, evaluation of grant proposals, peer review, personal presentation, expert committees, grant making, special programs, and the final word incorporating role of program officer, speed of delivery, participation and ownership, and striving for excellence.
