   If you believe your writing sample is strong, send it.
   If you're "iffy" about it, don't include it.
   Remember – your writing sample may be the reason they hire you over others, on the other hand, it could be the reason they exclude you…

   Don't. If they are not asking for a writing sample they are not using it as a point of evaluation. Crowding a hiring manager or recruiter's desk with unnecessary paper is a great way to get your resume thrown in the "no" pile.

   Include in your resume that you have writing samples you would be happy to forward at their request. Don't just assume that even though they didn't ask for one you should probably send one anyway.

   I would say don't include the writing sample if they don't ask for it. They might bypass your application altogether if whoever is reading the applications is in a hurry and doesn't want to be bothered. After all, your cover letter really IS a writing sample! Make it count by making sure it's well-written and convincing.

   This is not the answer to your question, but I have always wondered:
   Why is it called "grant writing"? you aren't writing the grant. You are writing a proposal in order to get the grant.

   Grant proposals tend to be long and specific to the requesting organization, so I would just include an excerpt of your absolutely most compelling writing (perhaps with a snippet of data that demonstrates that you do your research well). On the top, note who the grant was for and how much you got for your efforts!
