Well, today we began revisions on our NIH grant proposals in preparation for the upcoming submission deadline in March. This may seem like a long time to work on something, but we are actually going to be quite busy up until the deadlines. One grant is for my mentor, and though I'll be doing most of the actual writing, she will be guiding the experimental designs. The other grant is mine, and I get to call the shots to a large degree, although my mentor's input will be formative.
Both grants did well in the last round of reviews, but not so well that they received any of the limited, precious NIH money. Our scores for both grants were mediocre. This time, I hope that at least one of them will be funded. It would be terrific if both of them could be.
Our revisions will focus on addressing the concerns of the scientists who reviewed our last submissions. We will make most of the changes that they suggested to improve the grant, and will add some changes of our own to spice it up a bit.
For the next few weeks, I will be all work and no play (well, not much play, anyway).
