Getting grants

چکیده
Attracting financial support is a critical element of success in science, but we have entered a time of cost constraint with little hope of relief coming soon. For principal investigators, developing a broad base of research support is a valuable strategy for attaining financial stability for the laboratory. New investigators working on problems related to virulence and just beginning to build their careers and laboratories must attain NIH funding. But they should also look beyond that agency to the other federal organizations, state and regional agencies, and non-profits that support research. This review will discuss the general principles of how to understand funders, their intentions, and their funding programs. An investigator who grasps what drives the funders will be better able to write fundable proposals.

متن کاملThe joint helicity-energy cascade for homogeneous, isotropic turbulence generated by approximate deconvolution models
In the large, getting a prediction of a turbulent flow right means getting the energy balance correct and getting the rotational structures correct. In two-dimensional flows this means (in the large) matching the energy and enstrophy statistics. In this report we consider a family of large eddy simulation approximate deconvolution models of turbulence. Based on a rigorous analysis of their kine...
متن کاملCrowding out Both Sides of the Philanthropy Market: Evidence from a Panel of Charities
When the government gives a grant to a private charitable organization, do the donors to that organization give less? If they do, is it because the grants crowd out donors who feel they gave through taxes (classic crowd out), or is it because the grant crowds out the fund-raising of the charities who, after getting the grant, reduce efforts of fund-raising (fund-raising crowd out)? This is the ...
