My first submission was triaged (problems with research plan), and while I made some major changes, I'm not sure if I can count on a 30+ swing in score. Especially because I couldn't get any new preliminary data.Dr. Dad, PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244148018964711614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937880305824976500.post-25684648681615110282012-02-20T22:11:00.965-05:002012-02-20T22:11:00.965-05:00Dr. Dad, what K mechanism are you planning to appl...Dr. Dad, what K mechanism are you planning to apply for? You might want to check http://writedit.wordpress.com/nih-paylines-resources/ for updates about funding and official/unofficial pay lines. I submitted a K99/R00 in July, and the feedback was positive. The grant was scored, but it is in the funding line is slightly lower. In any case, publications and your training/career plan are a key part of the review, and some minor emphasis is placed on your research plan.

The night before my interview, sitting in the hotel room, was the worst! I get extremely nervous right before I start talking, but it goes away the more I talk...unless I screw up!Joshhttp://joshphd.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937880305824976500.post-51900719414897546312012-02-07T10:31:25.574-05:002012-02-07T10:31:25.574-05:00I swear it's like dating all over again.
