Once you have some leadsOnce you have some leads
• Send a 1-2 page e-mail to the relevant program director(s)– Research question(s)– Theory on which you build– Methods– Major citations (including journal
name)

So What is The ProcessSo What is The Process
• You work, work, work– Submit January or August 18th.
• I work, work, work– Perhaps request co-review if you didn’t– Send out requests for 6 external reviews– Assign proposal to 2 DRMS panelists for
review.– Convene panel to discuss proposals and
make funding recommendations

Silly Submitter TricksSilly Submitter Tricks
• Multiattribute Utility in an Emotional Space– “In this proposal I outline a series of
experiments which will demonstrate that Professor Lerner’s model of emotion-specific influences on judgment is not specific and is, if fact, just silly.”

the program director hasn’t heard of him!
– College roommate ([email protected]) was always pretty emotional
– John Coauthoredallmyother papers – (almostsameemailasme@ questionableu.edu) - very knowledgeable about my work.

Now, You might thinkNow, You might think
• It’s not worth wasting a lot of time writing the proposal
• After all, why would reviewers think that just because you wrote a sloppy proposal, you’d do sloppy research?
• Bad Idea
![Page 21: Funding Opportunities at NSF 2010 Neuroeconomics Conference Jonathan W. Leland Decision, Risk and Management Science Division of Social and Economic Sciences.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d0a5503460f949dd3bf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Now, You might thinkNow, You might think
• It’s not important to proofread your proposal carefully.
• After all, this isn’t grade school. It’s the quality of the ideas that count, not neatness.
• Bad Idea
![Page 22: Funding Opportunities at NSF 2010 Neuroeconomics Conference Jonathan W. Leland Decision, Risk and Management Science Division of Social and Economic Sciences.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d0a5503460f949dd3bf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Now, You might thinkNow, You might think
• You shouldn’t waste time making sure the project summary and abstract clearly and concisely outline the problem, the objectives, the project activities, and expected outcomes.
After all, reviewers can darn well study the full proposal if they want to get a clear idea about what you are proposing to do. Let them earn their understanding the old-fashioned way by slogging through your proposal page-by-page.
• Bad Idea
![Page 23: Funding Opportunities at NSF 2010 Neuroeconomics Conference Jonathan W. Leland Decision, Risk and Management Science Division of Social and Economic Sciences.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d0a5503460f949dd3bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Now, You might thinkNow, You might think
• It’s not important to write clearly and succinctly.
After all, reviewers might not respect you if your proposal is too easy to understand.
Bad Idea
![Page 24: Funding Opportunities at NSF 2010 Neuroeconomics Conference Jonathan W. Leland Decision, Risk and Management Science Division of Social and Economic Sciences.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d0a5503460f949dd3bf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Now, You might thinkNow, You might think
• It’s not necessary to provide details about the specifics of your research plan – clearly stated hypotheses, a crisp summary of your research plan and procedures, and the other elements that make it clear exactly how you intend to go about answering your research questions.
• After all, the reviewers will not require all this extraneous detail in order to recognize the distinctively high quality of your work. A simple “trust-me” appeal should do the trick.
• Bad Idea
![Page 25: Funding Opportunities at NSF 2010 Neuroeconomics Conference Jonathan W. Leland Decision, Risk and Management Science Division of Social and Economic Sciences.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649d0a5503460f949dd3bf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Now, You might thinkNow, You might think
• It’s not worth paying attention to the reviews of previous versions of your proposal.
Where do they find these ignoramuses anyway? They’re not even smart enough to understand your proposal or, if they do, they don’t understand why it’s important. Don’t bother trying to address their questions. Maybe you’ll get better reviewers next time.
• Bad Idea
