@BillMiller_Epi 3) Finally, a solid, good grant is not the same thing as a perfect grant. Even the best ones will have weaknesses. That's okay, if you acknowledge & address them if possible & it still moves the field forward meaningfully (this was a big one for me!)

[Angie Bengtson @BengtsonAngie]

@BillMiller_Epi 2) That said, good writing does not trump great science. The idea has to be sound and there can't be major holes in it. If I got to through the significance and wasn't convinced this would move the field forward, it didn't matter how good the approach was

[Angie Bengtson @BengtsonAngie]

@BillMiller_Epi My key take-aways were 1) everyone has their own style, but your writing has to be clear. If I can't understand what you're doing (even if it's brilliant) it will not score well

@BillMiller_Epi I was invited as part of @NIH's early career reviewer program, which is a great way to get experience for early career folks: https://t.co/wc3OI9K8FR
