Hi Sarah, how important is demonstrating return on investment (ROI)? If it's important how would you advise setting out this strategy?

How do you suggest going about an innovation section when the part that is 'new' is the focus on a previously un/understudied population (not just for the sake of it, there are clear and significant problems that need addressing which are covered in the significance section), but otherwise the approach is fairly broiler-plate? would the emphasis just be on the population itself? Would you de-emphasize the innovation section and shift the focus more to the implications for clinical application?

Hi, thank you for this useful video. That would be great if you can make a video on how to write a new R01 grant proposal following the updated review criteria? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you. i am on my way to being a certified grant writer for non-profits. Your advice will go into notes.

I received the score for my SBIR/NIH grant, which was 45. I applied to the NIMHD institute, but they changed my project to the NICHD as the primary institute. Do you think there’s any hope of funding? The final review by the NICHD Advisory Council will be in January 2025. What do you recommend in my case?

Agree! And there is the fourth reason: if you are fortunate enough to get a RO1 through the benefit of ESI at a percentile of 15-17%, yet you miss the opportunity to learn how to make your application “authentically qualified” to be funded at the payline of 10% or even lower. Particularly if you stop application efforts after getting the first RO1, you will have big trouble when renewing it or submitting your second RO1 4-5 years later...

Thank you for this guidance. It's very clear and reasonable. I'll use the scoring criteria to structure my next grant application.

Hello Sarah Dobson. Would you upload one on about a Research Grant by Foreign entity. Basically i need one so as to leverage my research project. Maybe ild like to share my email for more info.

Hello Sarah Dobson could you share your with me your email for further information about NIH grant writing of a foreign entity.

Thanks

Thanks

Nice

Wow! I wish I had heard this 5 years ago! Great points about how to make the most of personal statement- AS IS RELATES to YOUR ROLE on the current proposal! How has no one told me that before?

Question can a small for profit get grants

This video is really good

Thanks

Extremely useful!

Can you give us a short example of what that might look like?

I can understand that writing is a skill (Grant writing). I am learning to write a grant for my wife's business. she's a professional traveling photographer. The challenge of finding the right grants is hard but a challenge I'm prepared to handle. I now see why grant writers charge so much money, because the research part alone could take hours.

Justifying your choices. So it is easier for your viewer, to see what you want to accomplish 🦋🌿

Thank you, for keeping things realistic! To help us keep on track, during the learning process 🌻🦋🌿

1. strategy 2. plan 3. argument 4. feedback 5. pivot

Thanks for the video. Is there anything in particular I should mention when writing a grant that will improve the chances of me getting accepted ? Thanks

Is the primary emphasis on the quality/feasibility/national and scientific benefit of the idea being presented in the grant, or is preference given to established research groups, or “Ivy League” alumni, or already being published in the specialized area you are seeking funding in? Also, if a NIH grant is not funded one year, if the researcher develops it further, and refines the proposal, are grant proposals for specific research projects able to be reconsidered even after not being funded the first submission? Would a researcher new at clinical trials be allowed to propose a two-phase project, the second of which is clinical trials, without having the experience (or resources) to detail them in the proposal at the level as would be required for working with human subjects? Conducting research under the guidance/standards of the Belmont Report is one thing. The FDA guidelines and ISO standards for conducting clinical trials with the intent of bringing a new medical device, procedure, or treatment to market as a new option for human health care providers is exponentially more complex. How complex would a grant proposal need to be? Belmont Report, or FDA regulation?

Thank you for this advice! I am writing an R21 and others now and your informative videos help it to be less painful. ❤

Thank you very much, Sarah!

My self-paced grant writing course, The Grant Funding Formula, will give you the tools, strategies, and templates you need to write a competitive NIH R01 : sarahdobson.co/gff-r

Your content is great! Enjoying it.

What is an RO1?

Sorry I don’t need a degree to understand science I can cross reference anything to find the truth. I understand science well but when you have lied to people long enough people will not believe you and will become educated on the matter. Scientists are only as smart as their research and even than research has been wrong on many lvls especially the COVID-19 , transgenderism , male / gender dysphoria . You manipulate science to fool people so you can justify your narrative. Science is a joke no it’s been weaponized and now no one believes anything scientist say anymore.

This is the best summary which I have ever listened about specific aims

Great set of tips!

Timely as I am writing an LOI this week! Super informative and well presented. Great job, Sarah!

Thanks for these very helpful videos! Im watching them all. As I am new to NIH grants and feeling overwhelmed!
