Let's start writing a K99/R00 grant!!!

I have been working on a Japanese grant lately and kind of finished it finally, so I guess it's time to start writing an NIH-K99/R00 grant.

But I didn't know what to start at all. Well, then, I asked my friend, who is a postdoc in a lab next to ours and submitted a K99 grant before, to give me a copy of his grant proposal. Lucky me, he said yes and gave me it.

Although he hasn't gotten the grant yet, he said his score was pretty good so that now he is submitting a revised-proposal, which means it will be super helpful for me.

I can't upload his proposal of course, but let's figure it our together.

Again, here is a list of what I need.

Internal Forms (Title and Signature)
Project Summary
Project Narractive
Facilities and other resources
Biosketch
Budget
Budget justification
Cover letter
Candidate background
Career goals and objectives
Career development/training activities
Training in the responsive conduct research
Statement by mentor
Description of institutional environment
Institutional commitment of candidates research career development (what's this?)
Specific aims
Research strategy
Biography and references cited
Vertebrate animals
Equipment
Resource sharing plan
List of referee

First I will need a 12 pages Research plan which includes Candidate background, Career goals and objectives, Career development/training activities, Training in the responsive conduct research, and Research strategy.
Looks like more than half of 12 pages are Research strategy.

I will also need a page of Specific aims.

I guess those are first things to do. Let's figure out what to do next when I finish those.
