Write and Submit Grants

I know it sounds obvious, but you're not going to get a grant unless you write one.
Similarly, you're not going to get a grant if you don't submit it (on time).
Take the time to write it correctly.
If I'm reviewing grants with grammatical or factual errors, I'm saying no.
Look for calls, but there are also open calls.
If you can't get a big grant, get a small one.
If you have time, write another (but see Run the Grant).
Write grants with other people.
MDX vs Cambridge.
You can write grants to explore research that really interests you, but there are also grants that are posted to do particular work.
Write with someone else at MDX (fast walking robots).
