You’ve spent weeks, perhaps months, completing your grant application, and you think it’s perfect. No misspellings or bad grammar. No math errors in the budget. But before you submit it, you need to give it a final look—like an airline pilot doing a flight check before takeoff. Why? You may have made a mistake you’re not even aware of. A 2010 NIH review of 45,000 applications identified the most common blunders and troublesome areas in its applications.
This pragmatic Webinar will present strategies for breaking your final grant application review into four specific areas. These tactics will improve your chances of funding by submitting the best possible application, especially if you presented it a few days before the deadline. And although the focus will be on NIH, these approaches apply to other agencies’ applications as well.
5 Key Take-Aways:
- Top 10 most common errors on NIH applications
- Awareness of your application’s most error-prone sections
- Four-part strategy for reviewing your proposal before final submission
- Prioritized checklist of what is most important/necessary to review
- Window for corrections on applications submitted days before the deadline
This Webinar is Perfect for Scientists Who Want To:
- Correct errors on submitted proposals
- Ensure their proposals aren’t rejected or not reviewed due to evident errors
- Know how new section formats (Abstract and Summary) can increase the likelihood of errors
- Avoid cut-and-paste writing problems due to NIH’s reduced page limits
- Understand why modular and traditional budgets as well as budget narratives may increase errors — and how to avoid them
