13 Hints and Tips for preparing successful grants: Biomedical perspective Dr Gemma Figtree Professor, Sydney Medical School Interventional Cardiologist, Royal North Shore Hospital
14 Clinician Scientists Importance and definition of Clinician-scientists: (modified from Tong et al.) Clinician-scientists provide direct patient care and conduct research as principal investigators. They formulate research hypotheses based on existing data and their experience in treating patients. They then test their hypotheses by means of basic, translational, or clinical research, culminating sometimes in intellectual property development. Responsibilities of these individuals include overseeing research, publishing results, and writing grants to obtain external funding. Clinician-scientists are often expected to provide didactic lectures to medical students and to serve as the teaching attending for medical students and residents on hospital services. By participating in both clinical and research domains, physician-scientists provide a critical bridge to translate clinical observations into the realm of scientific discovery and to return newfound knowledge to direct patient care.

15 D/PhD Your career
16 PhD- Research Clinical
17 Why do we need grants? money for research time, and project need grants to get grants!
18 Grant opportunities Local support- university and hospital Myriad of philanthropic foundations Heart Foundation: - CVRN - National Round NHMRC Fellowships: - ECR/post-doc - CDF/Future Leader Fellowships - SRF - Practitioner Fellowship
19 Practitioner Fellowship?
20 How does fellowship funding help establish academic career? Leverage off fellowship funding (only a small proportion of total package) Establish clinical academic position or fractitional appointments with University and Hospital
21 Hints on success in Fellowship application Your vision Your impact in the national and international arena The Project - more a program illustrating your combined efforts, including building in the relevance to your clinical work Evidence of your support structures- both people and infrastructure
22 Boxes you need to tick Publications- original data, with you first! Contribution to field: Collaborations- and interaction with others nationally and internationally Leadership within your group Supervision Referees- formally and informally!- TRUST Grants!- particularly CIA on NHMRC and HF Project! In the case of project grants- NHMRC- the TEAM Need a mentor to help with all of this..and grants office
23 The Team Not just token Track record of discovery and publication Contribution to pilot data Real involvement in project- including budget, techniques, timeline If international- visits to help establish techniques here- bringing knowledge and skills
24 General advice Enjoy your work Attend small meetings, and aim to have meaningful discussions with experts relevant to your work..eg targetted question, sharing data, building trust, and interest! Collaborate with local, national and international people, bringing in new techniques and ideas/applications Involve yourself in the University/Faculty as much as possible, and use the Fellowship funds to fund FTE at University. Puts you on the radar there. Keep trying

57 Helpful(ish) Observations Committee members are asked to assess all applications, including those outside their area of expertise Agreement between Committee members is very high at either end of the spectrum Track Record / Research environment / Quality and Feasibility 1 Page Summary Research Category Rank Total A B C Public Health = Clinical = Biomedical = Public Health = Biomedical Clinical
58 Helpful(ish) Observations There is no substitute for quality You can t make up for lack of quality with good grant writing, but you can disguise quality with bad grant writing Know and write to your audience Award Type - Read the instructions to applicants Know your assessment process Know your committee structure
59 Helpful(ish) Observations You can t fool a peer review committee. Honesty is best Don t claim to be on a committee you are not on or to have organized a scientific meeting for which you did nothing Don t upgrade the journal your publication is in (Nature Immunology in not Nature, and does not have the same impact factor as Nature [25 v 42]) Don t upgrade your investigator status in grants (AI is not a CI). Don t try to be sneaky. Your not good at it.
60 Helpful(ish) Observations Application quality matters don t copy and paste from your ECF application What does a the Postdoctoral Fellowship Committee consider when assessing track record? Publication history (number and quality ) Contributions to training (e.g. supervision) Contributions to the scientific community Funding history (number and quality ) Independence and upward trajectory
61 Helpful(ish) Observations What does a successful Postdoctoral Fellowship application look like? Extremely variable. 0 5* years post PhD (usually <1 year) 5 30 Publications. Usually more than half as 1 st author Multiple presentations. Occasionally invited Usually have awards of some sort Sometime supervise PhD students, always support/mentor/supervise undergraduate students Always contributed to the scientific community is some way Some record of previous funding success. Sometimes competitive funding Usually don t have their own funding for project described in application *career interruption
