Assistance in writing research grants and adapting them to the relevant funding sources
Dear researchers,
Writing research grants is an acquired skill, and it is different from other writing skills that researchers possess. The Research Authority of Tel Aviv University offers members of the senior academic staff support in writing research grants. The assistance includes scientific feedback, proofreading, linguistic editing and adapting the proposal to the areas of interest and requirements of the various funders in Israel and abroad.
The service is provided by Dr. Kenneth Hollander from the Pre-Award Unit.
Dr. Hollander, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, has extensive experience as a senior researcher in the Faculty of Medicine, where he has held various research positions, supervised and trained students, and wrote proposals and publications. For the past three years, Kenneth has been assisting researchers in writing and submitting proposals, via the Research Authority at Tel Aviv University.
Dr. Hollander has comprehensive knowledge of scientific writing and is well-versed in the requirements of most funding agencies, including the major funders. As part of Dr. Hollander's work with researchers, he reviews the scientific aspects of the RFP and ensures that the proposal meets the grant requirements. Past experience has shown that this review increases the chances of receiving funding.
Why is it worthwhile and important to contact Kenneth?
a) Writing a research proposal is often a demanding task. Additional review from a different perspective often improves the proposal so that at the end of the process, it will be funded.
b) The reviewers on behalf of the funding organization are not always experts in the specific field of your proposal. Therefore, constructive criticism from a neutral reader, who is familiar with your work but not necessarily an expert in the exact field of activity, is important.
We invite you to benefit from Dr. Hollander's academic and professional experience in scientific writing and linguistic editing: kennethh@tauex.tau.ac.il Tel: 03-6406275
We would, of course, be happy to receive feedback, clarifications and comments to improve our services.
