Current ClimateOverall, proposals are increasing and dollars are decreasing
• At NSF & NIH, the vast majority of proposals are declined.
• 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

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. Pay attention to your budget
5. Rule of Three

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

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
