How do grants get funded?

My view: 3 key considerations that apply to RO1, R21 and RO3.

Luck / Good planning

Page 6: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

The following slides will provide an overview of what *I think are some of

the most important aspects of a successful grant application

*, others will probably have different opinions

Page 7: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Reviewers are trying their best.(reviewing is a difficult job)

Page 8: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Assume nothing except that the reader will be intelligent

Page 9: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Read as many successful grants as you can.

What is great art?

The Scream Edvard Munch

Wheat Field with Cypresses Van Gogh

Girl with a Pearl Earring Johannes Vermeer

Templates usually don’t work

The Scream Edvard Munch

Wheat Field with Cypresses Van Gogh

Girl with a Pearl Earring Johannes Vermeer

Use all available resources

Page 13: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

A unifying central hypothesis

A good idea when possible. It usually makes the grant easier to read.

Page 14: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

The Aims page should read like a (good) novel

Tell a story. Help the reader. Write the review for the reviewer.

Page 15: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Choose your study section carefully

Use the cover letter.

Do NOT suggest specific names of reviewers.

Page 16: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Preliminary data

New vs. Senior Investigator

New vs. established method

Central vs. peripheral hypothesis

Often new investigators have more preliminary data than they think…

Page 17: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Never, ever, ever “just submit and see what happens”

Page 18: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Do not wait until the last minute for:

*Acronyms are almost always a terrible idea

*unless it is “DNA” or something at that level of public awareness

Page 20: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Figures & tables need to be very easy to read

Page 21: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Revise, Tweak, Proofread ….alot

100+ hours

Page 22: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Resubmissions

Should I resubmit?

Address all concerns

The rebuttal is perhaps the most important part of the resubmission

Page 23: Thoughts on grant writing David Fuller Dept. of Physical Therapy McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida ddf@phhp.ufl.edu GMS 6096: Introduction.

Be prepared to admit that aspects of your initial idea (or maybe the entire

idea) is/are bad

Be prepared to admit that your initial draft needs to be “blown up”

Resubmissions

Consider carefully if the submission should be an RO1
