I applied for my first research grant!
ok, so maybe it's not a secret. But with all the crazy that has been keeping me from updating regularly, I haven't had a chance to document the newest milestone moment.
Grant applications provide an opportunity for researchers to propose experiments and projects (some long term with specific end goals, others simple pilot experiments that lead to more ideas and extensions) in order to get funding to fuel the project.
For me, this grant application provided the additional experience of crafting an idea into a tangible proposal that forced me to think not only about how my proposed project would be carried out, but how it was going to impact the field (and the real world). Luckily the application was calling for experiments like mine! So even though I will have some serious competition, it's nice to know that people care and have an interest in what I want to conduct research on.
Because...
Wish me luck!
