OBJECTIVES

1. Overview the process of developing a
   program of research

2. Discuss key components of stellar research
   programs

3. Highlight 5 networking secrets
I. THE PLANNING PROCESS
 DEVELOPING A PROGRAM OF RESEARCH
WHERE DO I BEGIN?

• Topic
• Funding sources
• Mechanisms
• Collaborators
• Budgeting
• Dissemination plan
  • To be established when the grant is submitted

• Would additional training be advantageous?
COMPONENTS OF SUCCESSFUL
           APPLICATIONS
• Clear, innovative aims
  • What makes your study stand out?
• Logical flow of the narrative
  • Topics conceptually and visually connect
• Tables and figures
  • Appease the reviewers’ eyes
• Strong investigative team
  • Transdisciplinary Co-PIs or Co-Is
  • Preliminary work
  • Evidence of collaboration (e.g., joint publications)
FUNDING CLIMATE CHALLENGES

• Good score ≠ funded grant

• Adapt
 • Multiple lines of inquiry

 • Affiliate with “investigative teams”

• Weigh proposal risks
 • R01 vs. R21 or R34

 • Complex vs. more simple study
FILTER ADVICE & REQUESTS

• Determine alignment with career goals

• Know when and how to say no

• Broaden your interests without washing out
  the research agenda
II. THE KEYS
STELLAR PROGRAMS OF RESEARCH
MENTORS

• Seeking independence vs. maintaining
  collaborative times

• Expand the mentoring base and network
 • Content area
 • Career (e.g., Title & Position)
 • Work/Life Balance
SCIENCE

• Building on vs. carving out a unique area of science

• Take risks when necessary

• Think outside of the box & challenge norms

• No time to train? Find a Co-I or consultant with the
  expertise
MECHANISM

• Timing is key
• Know what you can handle
• Partially dictated by the budget
 • What do you need to successfully accomplish the
   aims?
• Fit with career goals
 • How many years of funding do you need?
 • Is protected time an issue?
POISE & CONFIDENCE

• You are the expert on your research

• Learn to own and command a room

• Humility ≠ Invisibility

• Market yourself (without being pompous)

DISSEMINATION

• Weigh writing additional grants against
  concentrating on publications

• Aim high for impact journals
 • The review feedback is critical for resubmissions

• Establish or engage with writing teams
III. THE SECRETS
EFFECTIVE NETWORKING STRATEGIES
WYK

         • Remember: You may
•Who       not know someone
           personally, but a
           colleague probably
•You       has a connection!



•Know
LESS IS MORE

• Refine your “elevator speech”
 • Describe who you are and what you do in 30-60
   seconds
• Appease your listener
 • Highlight the alignment in your research
 • Briefly discuss their findings from the literature
• Clear, concise conversations are more
  effective than jargon
 • Stay focused and on task
 • Watch their cues and respond accordingly
CONFERENCE CONNECTIONS

Your conference life will never be the same!
• Strategize the sessions you will attend beforehand

• Extend invitations for coffee or lunch

• Send follow-up emails ASAP after conversations

• Set goals and timelines for future collaborations
BE UNFORGETTABLE

• Highlight the skills/expertise you bring to the table
• Market your research interests
  • Be mindful of the level of detail you divulge
  • Stimulate interest without giving the full idea




Reflection Question: What makes you memorable?
  • Tell a story or make a personal connection
  • Don’t just be another business card in the pile
FOLLOW THROUGH

• Be a (wo)man of your word

• Always complete tasks, or provide
  advanced notice

• Expect the unexpected and prepare
TAKE HOME MESSAGES

• Nail down your 30-60 second “elevator speech”
• Talk with local mentors to determine the best
  funding source & mechanism for your research
  goals
• Review examples of successfully funded grants
  (tailor application to the funder)
• Use all available resources (including conferences &
  colleagues) to network with senior investigators
• Publish, publish, publish!
