2 AGENDA Preparation Planning Producing the Proposal Introduction & Background *Plus Avoiding Common Pitfalls
3 Why write grants? Research Expectations differ depending on the school Service Tenure expectations Teaching Helpful for tenure achievement Scholarship
4 Why write grants? Grant funding may also provide: Research assistants for projects Buy out of courses Build an exceptional research team (e.g., editor, statistician, etc.) Pilot data for publication Improve chances for larger scale research grant application in the future
5 Current Environment Since 2000, NIH applications grew 72%, with a slight dip in 2004 and then returned to the same levels in 2013 NIH awarded only 17% of the 61,013 applications its received in 2013 (Chung & Shauver, 2008; Davidson, 2012; Koppelman & Holloway, 2012; Richardson, 2013; Rockey, 2014)
6 Current Environment Success rates dropped from 53% in 2000 to below 24% in Acceptance rate are currently at 9-11%. Grant writing skills are becoming more important for academics in order to compete for dwindling research funds (Koppelman & Holloway, 2012)
7 Current Environment: NIH Funding by Research Area Research/Disease Areas FY 2014 Actual (Dollars in million) Clinical Research 11,087 Prevention 6,858 Cancer 5,392 Behavioral & Social Sciences 3,682 Health Disparities 2,740 Minority Health 2,514 Substance Abuse 1,564 Violence Research 154 (NIH 2015)
8 Current Environment: Predictors of Funding Success Grant writing knowledge Reduced teaching load Larger professional network Increased research team size Submitting a high number of proposals Number of publications & academic rank were not found to be significantly related to funding success
9 AGENDA Preparation Planning Producing the Proposal Introduction & Background
10 A Good Research Idea Relevant Innovative Has potential to advance the field Builds upon the preliminary studies of the investigator and/or research team Seek a mentor at the early phase of your academic career who can help supervise your grant seeking and writing process
11 A Clear Core Hypothesis Simple Easily outlined in two or three sentences Based on: State-of-the art review of literature Preliminary data from pilot studies Easily broken down into specific aims Unfocused and overly ambitious research hypothesis are easily rejected by reviewers
12 Seeking Funding Resources Types of funding sources Government Private Foundations Industry Philanthropic UMN internal grant programs Different funding sources have different administrative requirements
13 Seeking Funding Resources Search multiple (industry specific) databases Contact grant administrator for RFP questions Grant officers (located on campus) can help identify potential grant opportunities Seek grant-giving bodies with priority goals aligned with your research idea increases your chances of acceptance & makes grant writing bearable!
14 Decision-Making Process of the Grant-Giving Agency Are scientific committees involved? Does it use Internal/External reviewers? Do they conduct interviews with applicants? Talk with colleagues who successfully applied for the grant of interest & interview faculty who serve on grantreview bodies
15 AGENDA Preparation Planning Producing the Proposal Introduction & Background
16 Draft a Plan & Timeline After a thorough dissection of the grant instruction manual: Meet with research team Outline each responsibility and task Note the deadlines & forms needed for completion Develop alternative plans Secure letters of support
17 Demonstrate Capacity to Succeed Investigators must show, through past training and experience, that they are able to administer and conduct the proposed study successfully More complex studies the greater need to show sufficient training and experience to manage the study
18 Capacity to Succeed Investigators will be expected to show that proposed study is feasible & cost effective Plan ahead and secure: Technical and institutional resources Novel and state-of-the art instruments Access to proposed population and materials Show that you have mentors in your specialty, capable team members and an understanding of the proposed timeframe for the study
19 AGENDA Preparation Planning Producing the Proposal Introduction & Background
20 Specific Aims Section: The Most Important One Clearly written, thoughtfully arranged and flawlessly organized Provide testable hypotheses Aligned with parts of the proposal (i.e. core hypothesis, preliminary data)
21 Specific Aims Section Uses declarative sentences Acts as a template for how study will be administered Focuses on the big picture
22 Background & Significance Section Following objectives must be met: Thorough understanding of the field of study How the proposed study will expand and advance the field Direct & plausible connection between investigator/research team s preliminary findings to proposed study s specific aims Primary takeaway your proposed study is the most logical step to advance area of research
23 Innovation/Approach Section Demonstrate proposed study s impact: Preliminary data show proposal study s hypotheses are testable, novel & feasible Specific aims appropriate & supported by preliminary data New methods/concepts emphasize innovation & understanding of current environment
24 Preliminary Studies Section Following objectives must be met: Previous work is directly related to population, methods and/or setting of the proposed study Pilot data shows proposed hypotheses has merit Shows investigator/research team s expertise Shows feasibility of study s proposal Provide sufficient pilot data but not excessive that reviewers find it unnecessary to fund your proposal
25 Approach Section Use visual images showing related hypothesis & pathways Outline anticipated results, potential limitations & future directions Balance content & a clear timeline for each specific aim
26 AGENDA Preparation Planning Producing the Proposal Introduction & Background *Plus Avoiding Common Pitfalls
27 Academic vs. Grant Writing Academic Writing Driven by Scholarly/Personal Goals Past Oriented Impersonal/Explanatory Tone Lengthy & Specialized Grant Writing Driven by Grant-Giving Agency Goals Future Oriented Persuasive/Passionate Tone Brief & Accessible Many good ideas are not funded because it is poorly written (Porter, 2007)
28 Using On-Campus Research & Grants Office Grants office staff is very knowledgeable in this process and may help you in: Completing forms Check missed requirements Obtain required signatures Negotiate internal requirements with other institutions Meet with successful grant applicants
29 Read & dissect successful grant applications Review grant instruction manual thoroughly Work with experienced senior colleagues & create your own internal review team Give yourself enough time to write the proposal Think like a reviewer be clear, concise & straight to the point Use images (graphs, timelines, flowcharts) Proofread, proofread, proofread Use external reviewers!!!
30 Finally Your grant proposal has a higher chance of getting rejected than accepted. Perseverance is key. Listen to reviewers critique & resubmit with demonstrated changes. Resubmission 28% success rate 3 rd Time Submission 40% success rate (Chung & Shauver, 2008)

32 Good Luck on Your Grant Writing Journey!!!
