OSFP highly recommends these for all matters of grammar usage:
Garner’s Modern American Usage. With more than a thousand new entries and more than 2,300 word-frequency ratios, the magisterial fourth edition of Garner’s Modern English Usage reflects usage lexicography at its finest.
Fowler’s Dictionary of Modern English Usage. This world-famous guide to the English language has been cherished and consulted by writers, editors, academics, and anyone who values good writing, for its practical and reasoned guidance on grammar, style, punctuation, spelling and word choice since it first appeared in 1926.

You may encounter a granting organization that requires certain documentation and/or proof of training before funding a proposal that involves human subjects. Here are some "Human Subjects" pages and resources.
CITI - Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative. Kenyon IRB requires that ALL Kenyon researchers involved in "human subjects" research complete the required learning modules online through CITI.
