Hi Sarah, how important is demonstrating return on investment (ROI)? If it's important how would you advise setting out this strategy?
How do you suggest going about an innovation section when the part that is 'new' is the focus on a previously un/understudied population (not just for the sake of it, there are clear and significant problems that need addressing which are covered in the significance section), but otherwise the approach is fairly broiler-plate? would the emphasis just be on the population itself? Would you de-emphasize the innovation section and shift the focus more to the implications for clinical application?
Great question. The short answer is yes, focus on the novel "target" for a conventional approach. More broadly (and hopefully the new instructions for innovation under the Simplifed Review Framework should clarify this for reviewers), focus on WHY this research needs to be done, even if the project isn't particulary innovative. That is always how we've recommended that applicants approach it, and now under the new review framework the guidance is to assess *how important* innovation is to the research, rather than *how innovative* the research is.
Hi, thank you for this useful video. That would be great if you can make a video on how to write a new R01 grant proposal following the updated review criteria? It would be greatly appreciated!
We have a whole playlist on the new Simplified Review Framework for NIH RPGs - you can find it here: th-cam.com/play/PLv4Ax0Ag3h8n8iUFzF4cuDTqkfvH-G2A0.html
Thank you. i am on my way to being a certified grant writer for non-profits. Your advice will go into notes.
I received the score for my SBIR/NIH grant, which was 45. I applied to the NIMHD institute, but they changed my project to the NICHD as the primary institute. Do you think there’s any hope of funding? The final review by the NICHD Advisory Council will be in January 2025. What do you recommend in my case?
Agree! And there is the fourth reason: if you are fortunate enough to get a RO1 through the benefit of ESI at a percentile of 15-17%, yet you miss the opportunity to learn how to make your application “authentically qualified” to be funded at the payline of 10% or even lower. Particularly if you stop application efforts after getting the first RO1, you will have big trouble when renewing it or submitting your second RO1 4-5 years later...
Thank you for this guidance. It's very clear and reasonable. I'll use the scoring criteria to structure my next grant application.
Hello Sarah Dobson. Would you upload one on about a Research Grant by Foreign entity. Basically i need one so as to leverage my research project. Maybe ild like to share my email for more info.
At this time, due to limited capacity, our focus is on researchers who have faculty appointments at academic institutions submitting to NIH. Unfortunately, we’re not able to help you at this time.
Hello Sarah Dobson could you share your with me your email for further information about NIH grant writing of a foreign entity.

Thanks
Thanks
Nice
Wow! I wish I had heard this 5 years ago! Great points about how to make the most of personal statement- AS IS RELATES to YOUR ROLE on the current proposal! How has no one told me that before?
Question can a small for profit get grants
Hi, Shawn - there are plenty of resources available. Locating that information depends on the type funding you are looking for. If you are curious specifically about NIH, you can visit the NIH website and check out the "About Grants" and "Funding" sections. Good luck!
This video is really good
Yes you right
Thanks
Extremely useful!
Glad you think so!
Can you give us a short example of what that might look like?
An easy (and built-in) example of anticipating and addressing objections in your approach section is the potential problems and mitigation strategies component - imagining what could go wrong and how you'll get around it. But in general I recommend that you try to imagine what sort of critiques your reviewers might give you on the scoring criteria, and address them in advance. One that we see a lot among ESIs (women and underrepresented researchers in particular) is in the Investigator(s) score - your reviewers might be skeptical about your ability to lead the project and so to anticipate and address that objection you would speak to your leadership and management on other projects and potentially also the team members you have around you who are experienced in leading large projects.
@@thesarahdobson, Thank you
I can understand that writing is a skill (Grant writing). I am learning to write a grant for my wife's business. she's a professional traveling photographer. The challenge of finding the right grants is hard but a challenge I'm prepared to handle. I now see why grant writers charge so much money, because the research part alone could take hours.
Justifying your choices. So it is easier for your viewer, to see what you want to accomplish 🦋🌿
Thank you, for keeping things realistic! To help us keep on track, during the learning process 🌻🦋🌿
I'm so glad you're finding it helpful!

Thanks for the video. Is there anything in particular I should mention when writing a grant that will improve the chances of me getting accepted ? Thanks
That depends on so many factors that are specific to the funding opportunity, agency, and project you're proposing. My best advice is to think about what what your reviewers would need to understand about your project so that they can feel confident that it's feasible and aligned with the objectives of the funding opportunity.
Is the primary emphasis on the quality/feasibility/national and scientific benefit of the idea being presented in the grant, or is preference given to established research groups, or “Ivy League” alumni, or already being published in the specialized area you are seeking funding in? Also, if a NIH grant is not funded one year, if the researcher develops it further, and refines the proposal, are grant proposals for specific research projects able to be reconsidered even after not being funded the first submission? Would a researcher new at clinical trials be allowed to propose a two-phase project, the second of which is clinical trials, without having the experience (or resources) to detail them in the proposal at the level as would be required for working with human subjects? Conducting research under the guidance/standards of the Belmont Report is one thing. The FDA guidelines and ISO standards for conducting clinical trials with the intent of bringing a new medical device, procedure, or treatment to market as a new option for human health care providers is exponentially more complex. How complex would a grant proposal need to be? Belmont Report, or FDA regulation?
Hi, Stephen - there are quite a lot of questions here so assuming these aren't hypothetical, it sounds like you might want to seek out specific support/advice for your situation. But the short answer is that it all comes down to how you justify the choices you've made. For example - if you're new at clinical trials and you don't have the experience or resources to do the research, how would you justify to reviewers that the research is feasible - in other words, that you're able to achieve the outcomes that you're promising in the proposal? How could you convince reviewers that you and your team are the right ones to execute this project (and be trusted with millions of dollars of taxpayer money)? Hope that helps!
@@thesarahdobson not hypothetical at all. I’m applying for a second doctorate, and I’m trying to have a research grant to go along with it so I can work on my own ideas instead of being in somebody else’s research group. Thanks for your content.
Thank you for this advice! I am writing an R21 and others now and your informative videos help it to be less painful. ❤
Glad to hear that the videos help it be less painful! 🙂 All the best with writing your R21.
Thank you very much, Sarah!

Your content is great! Enjoying it.
Thanks, Stephen!
What is an RO1?
It's a type of research project grant funded by the National Institutes of Health. I work with researchers who are applying for these types of grants, so that's what I talk about on my channel
@@thesarahdobson oh neat! Thank you
Sorry I don’t need a degree to understand science I can cross reference anything to find the truth. I understand science well but when you have lied to people long enough people will not believe you and will become educated on the matter. Scientists are only as smart as their research and even than research has been wrong on many lvls especially the COVID-19 , transgenderism , male / gender dysphoria . You manipulate science to fool people so you can justify your narrative. Science is a joke no it’s been weaponized and now no one believes anything scientist say anymore.
This is the best summary which I have ever listened about specific aims
High praise! Glad you found this one helpful, Yasin.
Great set of tips!
Thanks Liz! Glad they're helpful!
Timely as I am writing an LOI this week! Super informative and well presented. Great job, Sarah!
Glad it was helpful, Manu! Good luck on the LOI!
Thanks for these very helpful videos! Im watching them all. As I am new to NIH grants and feeling overwhelmed!
I'm so glad you're enjoying them! If there are any specific questions you want me to address in a future video, let me know.
