发帖数: 1488 | 1 internal proposal, 算种子基金，让你做点东西好申请 NSF。
一个问题是：With the proposed activity, what are the short- and long-term
benefits to the faculty member’s research program?
我想了一下：
short-term: adding one member to the program; produce results to compete
external funding; produce papers
long-term: ????
求指教。 |

发帖数: 2041 | 5 Yea, I wonder which one. I will only consider moving if the school is on
the west coast. I think I need another R01 to be attractive enough.
Although, he said that his school is 12 month hard money. I can tell you
some PIs are really dumb even the high achievement ones. I have to explain
to one of our new endow chairs that we are 50% soft money and what will
happen if he loses funding. |

发帖数: 81 | 8 I have acknowledged the grants in all the articles. Some articles have the
grants listed but some others donot have. Thus, I cannot pool them into a
PDF report if the grants are not assigned to the articles.
NIH seems interested in bringing as many as possible troubles to the PIs.
Any ideas to fix the issue?
Thanks! |

junior status should not be treated as a main issue when judging a proposal.
The grant was a resubmission. It got an OK scored in the first round. The
resubmission may not worth funding, but it definitely does not deserve all 6

发帖数: 142 | 13 做AP一年了，暑假是收获季节，也总结一下：
1. Publications: 只有一篇N作的paper 发表了，有几个revise & resubmit.
2. Grants: 投了5个grant proposals (4个大的，1个小的），1个Co-PI的NSF（$2M)
awarded, 还有一个 PI的collaborative NSF ($0.2M)recommended for award.
3. 这个夏天: 回国了一个月；参与投了5个federal grant proposals (2 Co-PIs,3 Co
-Is 打酱油的)；接下来把早该投出的paper 投出去；至少要休息一周准备开学。
4. 新学年：把paper 好好搞搞，两年内不做主力写proposal了。
现在100名左右的学校，搞social science。是否该考虑骑驴找马了？ |

about how you organize your research topic, how to attract the audience,
whether you have the scientific vision.
I have seen many Chinese PIs give wonderful talks, although their English is

发帖数: 73 | 32 For a rejected proposal with a good score or comments, my guess is:
1) You have a good chance to get support if you address the comments
carefully. Talk with the PM to ask for some suggestions. If he is quite
positive and suggests you to revise and resubmit, your chance will be very
good.
Usually, at least one reviewer feels that your proposal is well written.

it is not good enough for them to give you HC (highly compe... 阅读全帖 |

最现实可行的是，PI自己招人要谨慎，（胖老师的几条建议很好）。学生自己也要想清
楚，如果认为这一行没前途，就不要出来做博后。但总有一些稀里糊涂，不淸不楚的（
including both PIs and postdocs)，那就让这些人做炮灰去好了.总的来说，PI做炮

critical to follow the latest studies in the field. We don't have to read

those highly established PIs like 11G, who obtain their funding through

发帖数: 997 | 37 To me, the sole most important indicator is where the past trainees in the
lab have ended up. If most of them did not become PIs, your chances of

to a lab that takes 5-10 year to publish a paper. That is way too long. |

importantly, NIH prefers more prelim results, while NSF doesn't like too
many (many proposals got killed because PIs present too many results and it
looks like everything has been done already; this does not happen with NIH i
