Oliver Bogler: Avoid These Common Errors in Grants

Oliver Bogler, Scientific Advisor at Barnacle Labs, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Avoid These Common Errors

  1.  Unclear Hypothesis
    – State your hypothesis explicitly and explain how your studies test it with clear endpoints.
  2.  Weak Significance
    – Connect your research explicitly to broader health impacts and the funding institute’s priorities.
  3.  Poor Organization
    – Use consistent headings and visual cues to create a logical flow in your proposal.
  4.  Missing Preliminary Data
    – Provide supporting data to demonstrate feasibility and your ability to perform the proposed techniques.
  5.  Unrealistic Timeline
    – Be honest about timeframes, accounting for delays and challenges in research.
