Investigator Resources

Thinking about Research? Tips for a successful proposal:

• Get your thoughts sorted out. What do you want to research, what is your hypothesis?
• Know what you want to say.
• Avoid jargon. Not all reviewers are experts in your field of study.
• Sell but do not overstate your proposed study.
• Do you need a collaborator for your project? If so, that person should be contacted as early on in the process as possible.
• Keep it as succinct as possible.
