Looking for Funding: Best
Practices

Current ClimateOverall, proposals are increasing and dollars are decreasing
At NSF & NIH, less than 20% of proposals are awarded (11% success at NIH for 1st time submitters)
More than half (60%) of the proposals are rejected on the first reading because:
1. The proposal did not match the program
2. Applicant did not follow directions
![Page 18: Finding Funding Presented by Beth Hodges FYAP Workshop May, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e995503460f94b9c40f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What can be done to improve my odds?1. Verify the Match
2. Follow the format provided by the sponsor and all instructions exactly*
3. Prove the importance of your project
4. Do not rely on one submission
5. Rule of Three
![Page 19: Finding Funding Presented by Beth Hodges FYAP Workshop May, 2013](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070415/56649e995503460f94b9c40f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Grant Application Tips: Rule of Three Read the proposal thoroughly before you
begin. If you are applying for a limited submission program, find out what the internal deadline is.
Begin your work- Gathering supporting documents- Doing your Homework- Prove the Importance of your Project
Final Steps- Have colleagues read your proposal- Edit, edit, edit- Submit in time for Internal reviews and
approvals-

Preparing the Budget- Key Points
Ask for what you Need Low ball budget undermines your credibility;
you will appear naïve in the eyes of the reviewers and panel
Same goes for an unrealistically high budget The reviewers and panelists are usually
successful grants people. They know the costs of doing business

Other considerations…
Team Building; establishing strategic partnerships, leveraging your expertise.
Build relationships, respect & reputation Become a proposal reviewer Participate in seminars and conferences
When talking to program officers Do not call to chat, keep comments
professional Do not cold-call them; better to send an email
first; okay to attach a 1-2 page project summary

Finally…Be kind to your grants administrators
