a*****y 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。 |

A******y 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. |

A******y 发帖数: 2041 | 7 There are also PIs and institutions that have professional grant writers.
Once I have my some additional money, my next hire will be a grant writer
and semi-lab assistant. |
|
q****w 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! |

did. His comment page start with: this is a resubmission from two junior co
-PIs.I had be criticized by my junior status before, but I thought the
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

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? |

s*********x 发帖数: 1923 | 17 The ability of giving a good talk is almost the same as writing a good paper
or proposal. We are NOT talking about language. Instead, we are talking
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
not perfect. |

Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives - NSF recognizes that disciplinary
boundaries evolve with time and that inter-, multi-, trans-disciplinary
approaches are often needed to push the frontiers of research and education.
We invite proposals from early-career PIs that want to pursue research and
education activities that cross disciplinary boundaries. Increasingly,

meaning the reviewers participating in the study section typically will not
get paid (unless your institution can allocate specific funds to support
this). Several ways to organize this:
one is to limit the number of proposals each PI can submit in each cycle or
each year, as some one already pointed out.
To motivate PIs to serve in this kind of study section, institution can

好奇google了一下,发现,NIH是他博后老板的Career Development Award,是在他博
士毕业前就申请到的。我想他是现在做他的课题吧,请问各位Faculty如果是这样的话

还有,NSF的项目没有他的名字,而且是在他博士期间的项目。请问博士生可以作为NSF
项目的Co-PI吗? |

Ask for

|
E*****e 发帖数: 417 | 30 My 2 cents:
1. The earlier, the better in most cases.
2. It is fine to contact multiple PIs at the same time but be specific about
your future research in his/her lab. |
|
E*****e 发帖数: 417 | 31 In your email, you can state what type of projects you are interested while
of course keeping certain flexibility. Most PIs like a well-thought-out plan
from postdoc applicants. Good luck.
他们组里的研究方向吗?还是面试的时候再当面讨论? |

A***a 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.
The other two reviewers may feel that your proposal has some potential but
it is not good enough for them to give you HC (highly compe... 阅读全帖 |

o****e 发帖数: 72 | 33 I guess most trainees only care : (1) those who help their trainee find jobs

Luckily, both my Ph.D and postdoc PIs belong to the first type. |

l****y 发帖数: 486 | 35 知道你喜欢诋毁这一行,但说句你不爱听的,极少会有PI会釆取你的建议。
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
灰的可能性小很多,因为手下只要有少数人work out 就够了(楼主既便在这儿埋怨,
他手下好歹有几个可以的,这就够了),他有什么incentive去照你的建议去做? |

critical to follow the latest studies in the field. We don't have to read
the whole article, but should be familiar with the methods and results. Only
those highly established PIs like 11G, who obtain their funding through
different sources or have subordinates manage their research progress, can
have the leisure not to keep up with the literature.

H****N 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
becoming a faculty would be very low, no matter what. In addition, don't go
to a lab that takes 5-10 year to publish a paper. That is way too long. |

p**********n 发帖数: 1470 | 50 in my opinion, NIH is a lot better than NSF in many ways, but most
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
heard). |
