We know that some of you in this community are research grant recipients or are considering applying for grant funding (Reminder, complete your profile to help fellow community members learn more about you!). While many resources exist to help you prepare a research grant application, we found great value in this
NIH-produced list of common mistakes to avoid. The list cautions applicants about common problems within criteria including:
- Specific Aims
- Significance
- Investigator(s)
- Innovation
- Approach
- Environment
- Budget
Also, speaking of grant funding, the NIH recently announced a funding opportunity re:
Community Interventions to Address the Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic among Health Disparity and Vulnerable Populations (R01- Clinical Trial Optional). For those interested, applications are due December 1, 2020.
