This guide provides key tips for preparing a successful grant proposal in Biological Sciences. Understand the audience, emphasize health significance, and include educational aspects for NSF. Utilize the online roster of the Skeletal Biology Development and Disease Study Section for insights. Ensure clarity in presenting your research strategy in limited pages, addressing feasibility, risk management, and hazardous materials. Get started on your grant writing journey effectively!

Getting Started Read the directions! http://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm
Know your audience • Reviewers are informed readers but not necessarily experts in your specific area (~20 reviewers). • Funding agency personnel want to know health impact (e.g., NIH, OREF, NSF, NIST, AF, CDC, DOD, etc.). • Keep in mind that you need to be very clear and need to emphasize health and science significance throughout. • For NSF, include educational and underrepresented minorities.

Research Strategy Problem: You only have 12 pages (less for an R21 or R03) – this includes Significance and Innovation (c) Approach If the project is in the early stages of development, describe any strategy to establish feasibility, and address the management of any high risk aspects of the proposed work. Point out any procedures, situations, or materials that may be hazardous to personnel and precautions to be exercised (use of Select Agents should appear separately).
