How to get that grant: In her survival guide to applications in academia, Sarah Lang explains how to make your case an "easy win" by knowing two key facts about the reviewing process 👇

But I also explore what AI genuinely struggles with and how writers can strategically position themselves in this new landscape.

Has anybody done the math on how much it costs German tax payers when the DFG changes their CV template? #academicChatter #grantWriting #cvUpdating 🙄
Writing grant applications makes me very motivated about my research while also making me want to quit academia 😅 I would also like to have a friendly chat with whoever decided to set a grant deadline on the 8th of January 😒😭

Just answered that age old question: who is my target audience?
#GrantWriting
I think I would like to apply to this: https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu/asml-fellowship-program/
Because I think the project I'm working on is an excellent fit for the third and fourth focus areas (personalized safety and interoperable software infrastructure, respectively). Because two things (edit: FOUR! Four things. ah ah ah) I want:
1. User-by-user opt-in federation + user-by-user authorized viewings only.
2. 'Mixed' privacy mode: posts that are available for all, posts that are available for some, posts that are only available to people who were granted access at the time, etc.
3. Easy import/export from Mastodon, Misskey, and Wordpress, as well as CLI tools to dump out data/posts into AP JSON-LD. I'd also eventually like it to work with other stuff, such as Twitter archives, etc.
4. Not really directly relevant but I would like the things I write to serve as a springboard for other distributed projects.
I'll have to write up a two page project proposal, though. It's been a hot minute since I wrote up something like this, though. Also? My last application was for a grant/fellowship was unsuccessful... even though I later learned that my advisor mentioned the project off-handedly to someone who had been involved in that grant process, and they were like "whoa! that's exactly the kind of thing we want to fund! you should have applied!". So I don't think I'll be dusting off that PDF as a starting point...
Anyone have any hot tips for independently applying to a grant/fellowship program without the help of an advisor?

Grant application submitted, finally. The application portal of course had to freeze to scare the hell out of me within 2 hours of the deadline...
Happy to get back to the job I like (actual research).
A full day wasted cutting 57 characters to fit a stupidly rigid 5000 characters limit. Another day will be equally wasted on another section still 460 characters over the same limit. I am sick of this nonsense.
This leaves me with no inspiration whatsoever to write two sections that still need to materialize, and the deadline is in less than 48 hours now… Slow-motion train wreck…
Interesting research alert! 🚨 Ever wondered if your academic institution's ranking affects how you write grant proposals? A study reveals that in #China, lower-status applicants create longer titles to compensate for perceived biases!
📚✍️ https://doi.org/10.1093/reseval/rvae039
Lower-status applicants tend to use more words in their grant titles, especially when applying for larger grants or in more competitive fields like Business Administration. 📊
🤔 "A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed #research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact their proposal rankings"

OK, having spent 3 days reviewing comments from colleagues and adding details in response, I'm now 1200 words over the limit. Now to cut it all back to 3000 words then - easy, right?... #grantwriting #Pilife #AcademicChatter
