6. Grant money and time don’t necessary match 7. “its not what you know it’s who you know” Select a team of colleagues (choose wisely) Experience is key (find someone interested who is a major grant holder) 8. There is an element of luck Timing of application vs perceived priorities

Other things I wish I had known! 9. Paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork Maintain a site file. Design a data collection tool (CRF) to collect all relevant information All personal involved in the study must be research compliant (GCP) Documentation of consent and each research activity. Reporting Don’t under estimate time when costing

Being successful Don’t underestimate the new skills and knowledge you will acquire AND the transferable skills you already have. Time Management EBP As AHP we have loads to offer Project Planning Academic Writing Completer/ Finisher

Co-ordinating a research Study Time management is key. Dedicate your time Find a home outside of the clinical dept/office Be flexible Set realistic milestones / meet regularly Get out there and share your results!
