Definition
Plural of grantsman; people who are skilled at obtaining grants or who work in the field of grant administration.
Etymology
Formed by adding the plural '-men' suffix to 'grantsman.' This follows the traditional pattern of adding '-man' or '-men' to denote people who practice a particular skill or profession.
Kelly Says
This term became more common starting in the 1970s-80s when competitive grant funding transformed the landscape of research institutions and nonprofits, creating an entirely new profession of specialized administrators.

Gender History
Plural of grantsman; uses the gendered agent noun 'men.' Erases non-male grant professionals from common workplace reference.
Inclusive Usage
Use 'grant writers,' 'grant administrators,' or 'grant professionals.' These plural terms are occupationally precise and gender-neutral.
Inclusive Alternatives
["grant writers","grant administrators","grant professionals","grants specialists"]
Empowerment Note
Women comprise a substantial majority of grant writing and development professionals in nonprofit and academic sectors; the '-men' suffix incorrectly represents the field's actual composition.
