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.

A rumor; You can't submit a K99/R00 more than twice?
In K Lab, which is next to our lab, there are a couple of Japanese postdoc. One of them (Dr. O) came and talked to me today and it sounded like he is going to submit a K99/R00 grant in June.
Oh My God. Did I already find a competitor? lol
No, it will be fine. He is working on cancer and I am not.
Anyway, today I will post an information that he told me.
He said, you can not submit a K99/R00 grant more than twice. NIH will review your application and you will have to revise it, since most of the time NIH doesn't accept the original application. That means you will submit a revised, improved application and then NIH will review it. If the improved application isn't good enough, you won't be able to submit the same grant FOREVER!!
I thought even when your application is rejected, you can try again and again as many as you want as long as it is less than 5 years since you get Ph.D.
But he said you can only submit a K99 grant twice in your life.
Is it true? IDK.

隣の Kラボに日本人ポスドクが数人いて、そのうちの１人(Dr. O)が今日ぼくに話しかけにきた。彼はどうやらK99/R00グラントに応募するようだった。
早くも競争相手を見つけてしまった？いや、大丈夫。彼はガンを研究してて、ぼくはそうじゃないから。
今日は彼が教えてくれた情報を紹介します。
彼が言うには、K99/R00グラントは２回までしか申請できないらしい。
NIHは一発で採用するパターンはまれなので、だいたいはReviseとなる。申請者は申請書を改善して２度目の応募をして、運がよければ採択。悪ければ不採択となる。不採用となった場合、もうK99には応募できないんだって。
ぼくは、たとえ不採用になっても、Ph.D.をとって５年いないなら何度でも応募できると思ってた。
でも彼が言うには、人生で２度だけ。
これってほんと？

Research: K99/R00
My first blog is about a grant K99/R00.
Getting a grant is very important for researchers, but I can not apply for most of NIH grants, since I'm Japanese and I don't have a green card.
There is some Japanese grants called Gakushin which you can apply if you are Japanese and working in the US or any other countries. I tried a few times but all failed.
But I heard that you can apply for a grant K99/R00 even if you are not American or you don't have a green card.
Here is a link to the detail information.
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-063.html
Well, it seems like kind of super difficult to understand what I need to prepare for it.
(Is it because English is not my first language?)
A couple of weeks ago, I asked my boss if he does mind me submitting this grant and of course he said "go for it" or something like that.
So, this will be my first challenge to get a grant by myself.
Well, even though I said "by myself", I still need somebody's help.
I asked A, who is an Administrative Assistant in my lab, to read the instruction and she told me that basically I need a 12 pages research plan and a lot of items such as recommendation letters by June.
One of the due date is February of 2011, but I just assumed that it's nearly impossible to write a grant in a few days, so I'm shooting for the June deadline.
Here is a list of items I need for K99/R00. (Of course A gave me this list)
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 referees
OK, I don't understand some, actually most of them.
Anyway, my due date is June. Don't worry. Should be fine.

最初のブログはグラントK99/R00について。
グラントを獲得することは研究者にとってとても重要なことだけど、ぼくはNIHのグラントに応募できない。日本人だし、グリーンカードがないから。
もちろん海外で働く日本人研究者が応募できる日本のグラント、学振もあるけど、ぼくは何度もチャレンジしてるけどうまくいかない。
でも最近、アメリカ人じゃなくてもK99/R00というグラントなら応募出来るという情報を得た。
詳しくはリンク先をみて。
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-063.html
まず最初の印象は、長すぎて何が何だか全然わからない。
（これは英語が母国語じゃないせい？）
何が必要なのか、情報を抽出するのも難しそう。
数週間前、ボスにこのグラントの応募について聞いてみたところ、当然「よし やってみろ」との返事。
というわけで、これがぼくの人生初めてのグラント応募だ。
ま、自分の力だけで進めるのは不可能なので、誰かの手伝いが必要だけどね。
研究室の秘書であるAさんにお願いし、インストラクションを解読してもらった。
彼女は慣れてるので朝飯前だ。
彼女が言うには、基本的には12ページの研究計画書と、たくさんの書類が必要とのこと。
締め切りは年に３回あり、１つは２月だけど、ぼくは６月分で応募することにした。
数日でグラントを終わらせるの不可能と自分で判断。
秘書さんがくれたリスト。
