1 Grantsmanship and Navigating through the NIH Bill Parks Center for Lung Biology Data on grants and federal budget Demographics and funding trends Grant preparation And after lunch, the review process
2 What s the Big Deal with NIH Grants? The major source of research dollars in US 2003: $27.1 billion 2004: $28.0 billion (+3.1%) 2.7% 2005: $28.6 billion (+2.2%) 3.4% 2006: $28.6 billion (-0.2%) 3.2% 2007: $29.2 billion (+2.1%) 2.9% 2008: $29.2 billion (0%) 4.0% 2009: $30.4 billion (+4.1%) -1.3% 2010: $31.0 billion (+2%; +6.2%) The gold standard of extramural funding Essential for advancement and promotion Your salary support Inflation Rate Most important: Indirect Costs: $1 = $0.52

23 Grant Preparation Read other applications Seek advice and input Be scholarly Be fastidious Guide your readers by the hand Useful sites for planning: Lots of info and links: Find and apply: Really good site Detailed, multilevel checklist: Electronic submission: Due Dates: CRISP (Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) Database of all NIH grants Know your competition
24 Grant Preparation Formulate your ideas Testable hypothesis that advances a field Generate preliminary data Supports all hypotheses Confirms feasibility Not so critical for F32 (typically comes from the mentor) Publish a paper The importance of this cannot be stressed enough Read successful applications!
25 Grant Preparation (cont) Training potential New directions and technology Develop relationships outside of your immediate lab Mentoring Advisory committee Seek advice Enlist collaborators, consultants Special reagents, techniques, advice Obtain letters Evidence of enhanced training potential Courses and Compliance (if and as needed) Research ethics Biostatistics Animal training & regulation, HIPAA, etc. Specialized courses
26 Think Know the literature & be critical Issues Controversies Unfounded dogma What gaps will your work fill? Give yourself plenty of time Don t submit until ready Grant Preparation (cont) Know what Institute to target and what they are in interested in RFA, Program announcements, etc. By Institutes: Total NIH search and more:
27 Grant Preparation (cont) Take care of the administrative stuff Budget and budget justification Human, animal, biohazards approvals (Just in Time) Resources Your statement, experience, transcripts Mentor s statement Experience as a mentor Funding Training plan and career development Co-mentor?

29 Specific Aims: 1 page Introductory paragraphs State purpose and importance Concise summary of key findings A clearly stated hypothesis: My hypothesis is Be clear and mechanistic Don t be obvious or tautological: the cytoskeleton is important for cell structure. Relate how aims will address the big picture (long-term goals) and advance the field List of aims (3-4) Importance for Reviewers Many say this is the most important section
30 Background and Significance: 2-5 pages Critically review the literature No limit on number of citations Original papers over reviews Do not be afraid to say you disagree with something (but explain why and how you will correct this travesty) Question dogma Limit discussion to things (pathways, diseases, molecules, etc.) you will study Justify your overall experimental approaches and models Provide graphics (cartoon, model, pathways, etc.) What are the gaps in our knowledge? What new information will your work provide? Don t be shy Use first-person pronouns (I, we) Show your enthusiasm Know your audience CSR database (see review section below)
31 Preliminary Data: 1-8 pages Summarize relevant experience and contributions OK to use data from mentor s - but give appropriate credit Provide interesting data Demonstrate your ability to do things Demonstrate feasibility of doing new things Critically interpret your own data - say what it means Thus, these data indicate Do not expect your reviewers to make your conclusions! Make figures clear Number the figures Embed figures near text Include legends (but not overly detailed) Do not rely on materials in the appendix
32 Experimental Plan: 5+ pages This is the meat More narrative than technical For each aim, provide: Rationale Approach Experiments Expected results and interpretation Potential pitfalls and alternative strategies Future directions (short) Quantification and statistics Methods Justify selection of techniques Detailed methods are boring, but Give priority to new or difficult methods Kit Rule Aim Description YR 1 YR 2 YR 3 YR 4 YR 5 1A 1B 2A 2B 2C 3A 3B 3C Priorities Time line at the end of this section Logical flow from aim to aim Caution: do not make an aim dependent on a preceding aim Role of matrilysin in ischemia-reperfusion repair Neutrophil activation in vivo Neutrophil binding to KC/syndecan-1 complexes Requirement of syndecan-1 shedding Syndecan-1 association with integrins Binding sites of KC:syndecan-1 interaction Neutrophil activation with disrupted KC/syndecan-1. Inhibit KC/syndecan-1 interaction in vivo

Day, How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper Paragraphs and spaces Don t make it look overly dense or cluttered Fonts, margins, etc. Use some system (bold, underline, numbers) to indicate sections and subsections Flow Logical transitions from sentence to sentence, paragraph to paragraph Do the work for your reader
34
35 Presentation and Style Zero tolerance for typos Figures should be self explanatory Legends Label the X and Y axes Point to or demarcate key features Avoid excessive abbreviations Avoid vague terms: e.g., affects, influences Cite complete references Take the reviewer by the hand Don t make them think Don t require them to look elsewhere for information Look at successful applications

52 How are Grants Reviewed and Evaluated
53 CSR: Center for Scientific Review Receives, assigns and reviews ~80,000/yr 200 SRA (Scientific Review Administrators) ~18,000 reviewers per year >220 Study Sections/Special Emphasis panels 1,800 grant review meetings/yr CSR has no funding authority
54 Study Sections Organized into IRGs (Integrative Review Groups) members, essentially all from academia Plus about another 12+ ad hoc reviewers applications per meeting ~10-14 per member 3 reviewers per applications Information from CSR web site: Study section scope Roster of reviewers Policies Schedules Study sections are advisory - they do not fund applications.
55 Review Process Applications sent to reviewer 6-8 weeks before the meeting Streamlining 1-2 weeks before, grants in the lower half are identified Streamlined grants are triaged, i.e., not discussed Written critiques/scores uploaded up to 2 days beforehand Riveting video of a mock Study Section:
56 8 am Lower half stream-lined Reviewers state scores 1-9 Adjectives: Exceptional (1) Outstanding (2) Excellent (3) Very Good (4) Good (5) Acceptable (6-7) Find another job (8-9) Discussion min per application Restate scores Budgets and administrative issues Next application 6-7 pm Bar, eat, bar, sleep, repeat next day Review Process
57 Review Criteria Training/Career Development F and K Grants Candidate Sponsor and training environment Training proposal Training potential Investigator Initiated Grants R01s etc. Significance Is the work important, relevant? Will it have an impact? Approach Meat of the critique Design, methods, plans, etc. Innovation Novel concepts and/or approaches Investigator Training and experience Productivity Productivity Environment Institution, facilities
58
59 Criterion Score New Scoring System Whole numbers: (exception); 9 (um, well let s just hope you never get a 9) Given by reviewers but not discussed at study section Provided in summary statement of all applications (discussed and not discussed) Overall Impact Score Whole numbers: 1-9 Not the mean of the criteria scores Different criteria are weighted by each reviewer Each review recommends a score All committee members score within the range Can vote outside the range, but must state that you are doing so Final Score Mean of all scores x Percentiled against similar applications across 3 meetings Payline Varies among institutes
60 Criteria Scores Score Descriptor Additional Guidance on Strengths/Weaknesses 1 Exceptional Exceptionally strong with essentially no weaknesses 2 Outstanding Extremely strong with negligible weaknesses 3 Excellent Very strong with only some minor weaknesses 4 Very Good Strong but with numerous minor weaknesses 5 Good Strong but with at least one moderate weakness 6 Satisfactory Some strengths but also some moderate weaknesses 7 Fair Some strengths but with at least one major weakness 8 Marginal A few strengths and a few major weaknesses 9 Poor Very few strengths and numerous major weaknesses Minor Weakness: An easily addressable weakness that does not substantially lessen impact Moderate Weakness: A weakness that lessens impact Major Weakness: A weakness that severely limits impact
61 Overall (Impact) Score Impact Score Descriptor Strengths/Weaknesse 1 Exceptional High Impact 2 Outstanding 3 Excellent 4 Very Good Moderate Impact 5 Good 6 Satisfactory 7 Fair Low Impact 8 Marginal 9 Poor Weaknesses
62 Summary Statement
63 Top Reasons Why Grants Don t Get Funded 1. Lack of new or original ideas. 2. Diffuse, superficial, or unfocused research plan. 3. Lack of knowledge of published, relevant work. 4. Lack of preliminary data and/or experience with essential methodologie 5. Uncertainty concerning future directions (where will it lead?). 6. Questionable reasoning in experimental approach. 7. Absence of an acceptable scientific rationale. 8. Unrealistically large amount of work. 9. Poor training potential
64 Didn t Make It Revised Application One chance only A1, then new proposal Consider the critique (without emotion) Address concerns in an Introduction 1-2 pages before Specific Aims Be agreeable but not obsequious Be firm but not confrontational Do not re-submit until all is in order Seek advice
