Facilities/Resources, Human Subjects, Consortiums/Subcontracts; Preliminary Data, Timeline, Budget - Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Professor Toby Chai discusses various aspects of grant applications in the field of urology. He starts by explaining the importance of the facilities and resources section, which includes details about the physical setup available to accomplish the proposed project. For clinical grants, it is important to highlight the location of the academic office and research staff, as well as the separation between research and clinical infrastructure. In basic laboratory investigations, researchers should describe their wet bench and any core facilities and major equipment they have access to. Chai also emphasizes the significance of institutional commitment letters, especially for early stage investigators, to address insufficient support for research. He discusses the inclusion of gender and racial/ethnic minority sections in grant applications and provides guidelines and examples. Chai advises on the need for a data safety monitoring board for clinical trials and explains the concept of consortium costs and subcontracts. He also discusses the importance of preliminary data, timeline, and budget in grant proposals, noting the influence of budget limitations on the proposed scientific aims. Chai concludes by explaining modular budgets for different funding thresholds.
