recent publications in area of proposed research successful competition for research funding track record of training researchers successful former trainees expertise and in areas of proposed research
Student: knowledge base about already funded ideas research concept written with specific aims preliminary data to indicate feasibility well-written research proposal draft referees in place who know your work and capabilities
Resources: must have demonstrated availability and access to

Plan strategically, think creatively. Review the databases of already funded concepts. Discuss your idea with Mentor and selected institute Program
Director. View any webinar links. Perform a thorough literature review. Select a right topic – emphasize novelty, paradigm change. Prepare your “trajectory” for graduation– timeline, milestones
to include research project.
