Identifying Strong or “Fundable” Research Areas

Discussion

When developing proposals, one of the biggest challenges is determining whether a research idea is not only compelling, but also <em data-start=”308″ data-end=”318″ style=”font-size: inherit;”>fundable. As grant writers, program officers, researchers, and support staff, we all bring different lenses to this process.
<strong data-start=”439″ data-end=”546″>What strategies, tools, or signals do you use to identify research areas with strong funding potential?
Consider sharing insights on things like:
<ul data-start=”592″ data-end=”1041″>
How you track emerging trends or priorities from federal agencies, foundations, or industry
Ways to assess alignment between an idea and a funder’s mission or strategic plan
Indicators that a topic has strong societal, economic, or scientific relevance
Methods for evaluating gaps in the literature or unmet needs
How you engage stakeholders to refine concepts
Any red flags that suggest an idea may <em data-start=”1021″ data-end=”1026″>not be competitive
Looking forward to learning from everyone’s approaches!
