2015 PEP Fellow Lisa E. Chasan-Taber discusses tips on successful grant writing in the Chronicle of Higher Education

Lisa E. Chasan-Taber, 2015 PEP Fellow, writes an essay on tips for successful grant writing for early-career faculty in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Among the ideas she proposes are starting small and early rather than trying for a big grant right away, watch what other ideas get funded, focus on the aims section of the application first and use lots of figures and tables. She also says it’s important to dream big, even if that project is somewhat off in the distance.
