Stats: Using a colloquial tone in a grant application (July 25, 2006). As I have mentioned many times in this weblog, I am writing a grant. One question raised was whether I was adopting too informal a tone for this grant.
Stats: Nitty Gritty NIH (September 3, 2004). Bill Caskey talked about some of the nitty gritty details of the NIH Grant process. His talk focused mostly on what happens after a grant gets funded.
Stats: Writing a methods section (January 15, 2001). Dear Professor Mean, I'm starting to write the methods section for a research grant, but I have no idea where to start. -- Dazed Dana
Where do research ideas come from? by Ronan Conroy (September 20, 1999). This is an HTML format version of an email by Ronan Conroy on April 9, 1999 to edstat-l, an Internet list and to sci.stat.edu, a USENET group. This email summarized a presentation he made about how to develop ideas for research. I have made some minor formatting changes (mostly the use of bolding, bulleting, and indenting to highlight the major themes), but all of the credit for writing up this summary belongs to Ronan Conroy. Part of this presentation represents a summary of discussions on edstat-l and sci.stat.edu.
Stats: Writing a research grant (September 13, 1999). Dear Professor Mean, I'm writing a research grant to look at the impact of managed care on the care of children with chronic epilepsy. How do I structure the grant so I'm guaranteed to get funding? -- Ambitious Ann
Stats: Developing a research hypothesis (August 18, 1999). Dear Professor Mean, I want to do some research, but before the hospital won't approve anything until I have a protocol with a research hypothesis. I'm not sure why a research hypothesis is important. Can you help? -- Little Linda
