  1. Research Planning, Grant Proposals and Funding Hasan Bayram, MD, PhD. Department of Respiratory Medicine, School of Medicine, University of Gaziantep E-mail: bayram@gantep.edu.tr 13. Annual Congress of TTS, 5-9 May 2010, İstanbul

  2. Contents • Research planning procedure • Grant proposal; main sections,titles, specifications • Funding sources • Conlusion

  3. How Does the Process Begin Melero, R

  4. Research Planning • The key element for successful research is good planning • Justifying the problem • Originality of the subject • Literature search ‘PubMed’, ‘Web of Science’ • How, with who(s)? • Where? • Pilot study • Duration of the research • Funding source?

  5. Grant Writing-1‘Grant Proposals (or Give me the money!)’ • A careful and meticulous preparation • Give sufficient time • Do not wait till last minute (problem) - The University of North Carolina of Chapel Hill http://www.unc.edu/depts/wcweb/handouts/grant_proposals.html

  6. Grant Writing-2 • Different institutions may have different format • The background • Literature search • Contribution to science • Methods • Planning

  7. Title Page • Title; informative, short, original, descriptive • Don’t be too much ambiguous and speculative • ‘A study to solve cancer!!’ etc • Information for principal and other researchers • Information for institutions etc

  8. Summary and Key Words • A short background • The aims of project, • Originality • Expected results (outcome) • Experimental design, • Methods • Sometimes, duties, roles of the team members (TÜBİTAK) • Key words; informative, should complement the title

  9. Introduction • Concise, focused to subject • A short description of topic • A brief summary of related literature • Original value of the project, scientific contribution • Hypothesis and objectives (May be different sections, TÜBİTAK)

  10. Subject Background • A short literature analysis • Should be limited to the most necessary ones • The gap to be filled by the study • Referees want to test the knowledge of the investigator(s) regarding the subject

  11. The Value of the Project • TÜBİTAK and Research Funds of Universities (BAPBY) usually require • Contribution to the science • Contribution to the economy, public prosperity • Benefits from the project

  12. Methods • Study methods • A detailed list of lab equipment, tools and consumables • Statistical analysis (in details) • The management of the project • The duty of investigators in the project, and the time they can dedicate

  13. Project Budget • The budget should be realistic and detailed • Expenditure plan and calendar should be detailed • A failure in doing this may result in deduction of budget • An incomplete budget may result in project disruption • An additional budget may be required • This may not be approved all the time • Pro-invoices may be needed.

  14. Progress Reports • Most institutions requite it per 6mths • The progress in projects should be discussed • Does the progress go parallel with initial plans and calendar? • Any problems, alternative solutions should be produced
