First define your career phenotype • Research:non-research ratio
o 80/20 vs. 50/50 vs. 20/80? o Know your priority and your goals
• Research role(s)
o Aim to take lead on projects with goal of being PI/independent OR o Usually a collaborator/co-investigator

What makes up a research “portfolio”?
Mix up grant types
• Time-limited funds
• Project-limited funds
• Mix of funders
• Good to have some “discretionary” funds
Mix up roles on grants
• PI vs. Co-investigator
• Can’t lead on everything
• Can’t follow on everything
• What is your research phenotype?

Get to know NIH project officers and other funding staff
(true for non-NIH, too) • Science/project officers:
o Your advocates/allies o Develop and help investigators o Guide to deciding which grants are appropriate o Provide feedback and guidance on grants/reviews
• Grants administrators:
o Separate from scientific staff o Have much authority—listen to them, too! o Usually know the rules better than the MD/PhDs
• These folks want to help you succeed

Be extremely careful to follow funding rules • Avoid double-dipping
o However, complementary funding that expands and enhances the work is allowed and good
o Still OK to apply for multiple grants with same project
• Investigate eligibility rules first o Exceptions or broad interpretations are not uncommon (non-federal)
• Smaller awards often exclude PI salary and limit indirect costs (F&A)
• Follow all the rules (not just the ones you like) o Not sure? ASK someone at funding organization

Don’t be shy
• Get to know campus leaders of research enterprises and infrastructure o Learn about opportunities
• Be known to your funders
• Ask collaborators about their funding
