  10. Developing search parameters • Developan array of relevant search terms; • Familiarize with your most likely sources and search often; • But don’t dismiss the un-likely sources (think outside the box)

  11. Refining search techniques • Remain open-minded as you search • Consider collaborating with a more experienced colleague or on a team project. • Consider framing your research project in a new way. • Do not force your topic to fit a program where it does not belong. • Filter through a funding alert before moving forward and talk to the program officer for clarity.
