#accademicchatter #pilife
For years my R fluent colleagues (and my wife ) told me that commercial software like GraphPad is an addiction, I knew that but I was addicted. Dragged and kicking for two weeks, since May 1st, I am glad to report I quit GraphPad and I am free !!! #opensource -
OK, having spent 3 days reviewing comments from colleagues and adding details in response, I'm now 1200 words over the limit. Now to cut it all back to 3000 words then - easy, right?... #grantwriting #Pilife #AcademicChatter

Grantwriting complaints and advice
It's always frustrating when reviewers miss an important thing, especially if it's about an investigator (i.e., ME) that seems obvious.
One time I had a comment that the research team should have someone with experience doing language (which I think I've been doing since 2000).
I recently had a comment that the PI (me) did not have experience with fNIRS (I've been doing optical brain imaging since 2012).
BUT, as frustrating as these are, it's also a good reminder that quite often the things we think are obvious to reviewers based on our biosketch or whatever are often not. And it's on us to try to fix that in our grant application, because reviewers will always be over-worked and over-tired etc.
(Also sometimes a reviewer is just an idiot but that's hard to defend against so I try to assume the best and figure out what I can do on my end.)

If you are the PI of a grant proposal and your draft budget is over the limit and someone’s first advice is “drastically decrease your effort” please get a second opinion.
Also here is your second opinion: don’t
