1/n I experienced the rare victory of seeing “Selected” in the @NASA #proposal system this week. So I’m going to celebrate by jotting down a few notes that I hope will help others... especially those for whom the grant process might be intimidating:
2/n Learn and practice. I started with a huge advantage thanks to proposal-writing classes and clinics during my graduate studies, by @hauck , Curt Niebur, and Susan Niebur. I’ll avoid repeating this information, but I can’t emphasize enough how critical these insights have been.
3/n It’s all about #tenacity. You will be rejected... for great ideas... often. Have a drink, go for a run, take a day to mope, and move on. This award was my third attempt for the same concept. Overall, I’m at 40% success (as P.I.), which I’m thrilled with.
