1. Gather info. Look into all funding and grant opportunities remotely relevant to your research program. Ask your grants office about opportunities and let them know what you do so they can help you look. Collect the basics like deadlines, parts of the app, eligibility, purpose
2. Rank. I use 3 categories. Perfect match (most energy, feedback and planning goes here) Good match (less effort, recycle material from perfect match). Bad fit or ineligible (discard or only apply if I have free time). Within categories I rank by ratio of effort to money.
What are your tips on #grantwriting? Here are some of the lessons learnt from a multi-institution grant application that we are putting together with a short deadline- a thread./1

/2. Pre-planning is helpful. If you can have the project all thought out in advance (e.g. use a generic template to think through all aspects of the project), it will be easier to manage the short deadlines between the call for application and submission.
/3. Engage all participating groups early. If your application involves multiple institutions, bring all of them on board early, so that each team has sufficient time to conceptualize the application, understand their role in it and build a team.
