Tips• Question
Can I see myself committing to this project? Is it in line with my development and research progression?
• Man-months and costing Existing researchers, RA to recruit? (fulltime?) RO to help – average rate calculation
• Invest time Do not procrastinate Get a rough draft/skeleton ready quickly Know your partners Know your field Know your role in the project Refer to other successful proposals

Tips• Network
Info Days Social media – Linked In, etc. 6-degree of separation
• Not successful – past the threshold? Then it’s “not right now”… maybe Reusable for other calls in the future Improve based on the reviewers’ feedback
