Grant proposals can take so much time to write. Therefore, when someone suggests that we should defer a submission, we celebrate. In today's episode, we explore seven compelling reasons why you should commit to grant submissions.
Key Points Discussed:
- Commitment and Opportunity Windows: Grant submission opportunity windows are finite. Although the cycle may come around again, missing a deadline may result in prolonged delays.
- Feedback Potential: Submitting a grant opens the door to valuable feedback from reviewers. Even when we hate the reviewers' comments, they can help improve the quality of future submissions.
- Experience: Gaining experience in grant writing and submission enhances your skillset and efficiency.
- Networking: Submitted grants help in networking within the scientific community, even when you're not present in the room.
- Time Efficiency: Submitting a grant is a more time-efficient approach compared to endlessly perfecting it. It accelerates the process and allows you to learn and adapt.
