Issues to Consider Current funding climate Strategies and resources Internal proposals External proposals Developing a strategic plan

Current Funding Climate http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/20140612 – COGR.pptx

Current Funding Climate http://www.aaas.org/sites/default/files/20140501 – Forum.pptx

Current Funding Climate Source: http://report.nih.gov/success_rates

Strategies and Resources (Internal Proposals) Submit as soon as proposal is viable http://dsp.research.uiowa.edu/ui-internal-funding http://research.uiowa.edu/ovpr/university-funding-sources Provides funding for preliminary results Provides informative feedback Provides mechanism to crystallize ideas Clear explanation of significance Clear description of experimental design Challenge of explaining to an audience of non-specialists (avoiding jargon)

Strategies and Resources (External Proposals) Submit as soon as proposal is viable Until funding is established, don’t let a deadline pass without submitting Learn what has been funded recently http://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter.cfm http://nsf.gov/awardsearch/index.jsp Note special Requests for Applications (RFA’s) http://www07.grants.gov/applicants/find_grant_opportunities.jsp Look for special opportunities for young investigators http://www.spo.berkeley.edu/Fund/newfaculty.html http://grants.nih.gov/grants/new_investigators/index.htm

Developing a Strategic Plan Preliminary results and manuscripts Work on building your visibility Meet program officers at agencies Conference participation Meet your competitors Discover your supporters and detractors Invite key players in your field to Iowa for a seminar Develop your research niche At tenure time, need to have an identifiable research program Don’t ignore the mission-oriented agencies such as DOE, DOD, NASA Important to develop contacts at Government labs

Developing a Strategic Plan Consider a mix of collaborative and individual work Collaborative projects can be an important component of a research program Allows bigger problems to be tackled Important to be able to demonstrate your own contribution
