Improving Your Funding Chances TALK TO YOUR PROGRAM OFFICER! Find out what fields are current, what kinds of projects they’re looking for – it’s not a secret! Work on something you are excited about. Be explicit in project design, and carefully consider project outcomes and significance. Possibly add a senior collaborator as co-PI or consultant in a larger project (not required in smaller $$ efforts). READ your reviews objectively, to use them to revise submissions.

Making Research Attractive Funding Programs have stated objectives – know these and how your research fits them! Speak directly to the issue of fit. You can describe fit without substantively changing design. Making your research attractive to a funding program is not selling out! Being a good communicator is critical. Be honest, but make the connections.
