Anyone have experience writing grants for IGERT funding?

Dear Open Science Community,

I am submitting a grant for the IGERT program to educate students in open science practices like open notebook science, data management, outreach, and contribution. I have no experience writing a grant of this magnitude and would like some pointers and ideas or even a rubric of some kind. Any help that you may provide would be greatly appreciated!

Love,
Anthony

My #SciFund Project: The effect of water on life http://rkthb.co/7531

Here. It. Is.

I’m so happy that everything with the proposal is complete. It was a ton of time and effort, but the experience of it all was so worth it. I want to thank Dr. Jai Ranganathan and Dr. Jarrett Byrnes for their dedication to the project, and all the support and feedback they provided to everyone in the Challenge.

I also want to thank and promote each and every person in the #SciFund Challenge. It should be known that this was a community effort. Each of our projects had some contribution from other members in the community, and we all had something to give. We all did so much behind the scenes, and it was such a wonderful experience.

I also want to personally thank my friends and family who helped give me feedback on my project:

  • Barbara Toledo-Buglione (mother)
  • Lou Salvagno (father)
  • Elaine Allen (titi)
  • My advisor Steve Koch
  • My undergrad mentee Alex Haddad (who also helped me film the movie)
  • Bill Hooker
  • Ms. Banana

Now I want to invite each and everyone of you in the world to check out my proposal. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated (and I will personally thank you as well), and promoting my project would be appreciated even more! My hope is that together, we can bust science open!
