To learn how to better prepare a high-quality training grant application To become aware of the errors commonly found in research project descriptions To learn how to add value to your CV

PREPARING TRAINING GRANT APPLICATIONS

OBJECTIVES

slide-143
SLIDE 143

PREPARING TRAINING GRANT APPLICATIONS

START EARLY

 To initiate a discussion with your research director and identify the organizations/foundations where you have the best chances of succeeding

 Before the summer vacation period

 To become thoroughly familiar with the description of the different programs available for the fall 2018 competition

  • Usually June-July
  • An annual competition

 Deadlines and special procedures:

  • FRQS:
  • October 16, 2018 (4:30 p.m.) – Training grants, M. Sc., Ph. D. and postdoctoral
  • Doctoral training for foreign students (MEES program administered by the FRQNT),

early August 2018, visit your university’s grant department for information on the deadline for the internal preselection competitions

  • CIHR:
  • December 1, 2018 – Master’s training award (evaluation at the institutional level)
  • October 4, 2018 – Doctoral training award, regular competition
  • November 1, 2018 – Postdoctoral training awards, regular competition
slide-144
SLIDE 144

 To establish a timetable of deliverables  If the deadline is October 16, 2018, your grant application should be completed by September 30th

  • Allow enough time for a final rereading
  • Yourself
  • Your director and co-director

 Very often the time needed to produce a quality application is underestimated! A tip: estimate the time required to the best of your knowledge (including entering data and pdf documents into the organization’s website) and multiply this by 2.5

PREPARING TRAINING GRANT APPLICATIONS

THE PROGRAM FACT SHEETS FOR THE 2018-2019 FUNDING

YEAR ARE AVAILABLE – WHERE SHOULD YOU START?

 Read ALL the information/documents needed for your grant application:

  • Program description and objectives
  • Eligibility rules (form to calculate the number of sessions)
  • Specific instructions
  • Filing and evaluation processes
  • Selection of disciplinary adjudication committee
  • Description of partnerships

 Make a final determination of what programs you are eligible for  Choose the organizations/agencies/foundations that you can apply to  Familiarize yourself with the different tools that you’ll use for your application (Research Net, latest version of the Canadian Common CV, electronic filing system, etc.)  Establish a final timeline with deliverables and draw up a checklist

slide-146
SLIDE 146

PREPARING TRAINING GRANT APPLICATIONS

THE 1ST VERSION OF YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT

 FIRST AND FOREMOST, TALK TO YOUR DIRECTOR!  Your project has to comply with the organization’s evaluation criteria and guidelines  Example: FRQS

  • Provide a clear description of your research project, specifying, in order:
  • Research problem (literature review, your host laboratory’s contribution to the field, show the

importance of your subject with respect to these pieces of information)

  • Hypotheses and objectives
  • Methods and analyses
  • Feasibility
  • Contribution to the advancement of knowledge
  • Maximum of 6 bibliographic references
  • A 2-page PDF document (page size: 8 1/2 x 11) is allowed.
  • The text can be written in French or English (title in French). The document must be very readable

and comply with the following guidelines:

  • Font type and size: 10 pt. Arial or 12 pt. Times New Roman
  • Single-spaced; minimum 2 cm page margins; page numbers in the footer
  • Last name, first name and file number in the header of each page
slide-147
SLIDE 147

 Poorly-planned use of the 2 pages allowed

 One full page for the problem – not enough space to develop the other sections

  • ¾ of a page for the list of references (6 key references are sufficient)
  • ½ page empty –
  • SENDS THE EVALUATORS A NEGATIVE MESSAGE
  • Declutter your layout: give titles to the project sections, make paragraphs

 No hypothesis stated or an unclear hypothesis  Lack of coherence between the hypothesis(es) and the objectives, lack of clarity  Undeveloped methods (e.g., use of new techniques/state-of-the art tool/sector-specific competencies; characteristics of the population sample, justification of sample size,confounding bias/variables, etc.)

COMMON ERRORS IN WRITING THE RESEARCH PROJECT

slide-148

 Lack of justification of the methods of analysis chosen  No description of the statistical analyses  Lack of justification of the techniques chosen  Originality and Contribution to the Advancement of Knowledge section missing or vague  Undefined acronyms – overuse (specialist jargon)  Poor writing quality – use short, clear sentences without French or English errors and without typographical errors – reread what you wrote and have someone else reread it!  Don’t copy and paste your director’s 5-year research program!

PREPARING TRAINING GRANT APPLICATIONS

THE CANADIAN COMMON CV

 Update your CV before filling out the CCV  The most recent version of the Canadian Common CV (CCV)

  • To submit a CV to an organization, including the FRQS, you need to use

the most recent version of the funding CCV (www.ccv-cvc.ca) and select the organization  If you’re using the CCV system for the first time, you need to register (PIN, e- mail, password, etc.)  Read ALL the information

  • (e.g., some organizations have specific requirements)
  • Fill out the CCV clearly and submit it (e.g., FRQS)

 For the FRQ: Submit with CV and APPENDICES containing detailed contributions
