Preparing Grants to Secure Research Funding from Government Agencies

Abstract

Research funding is critical to the development of research in clinical child and pediatric psychology. The conduct of clinically relevant research in these fields can involve time-consuming and costly tasks involving recruitment and retention of research participants, data collection, and analysis. Moreover, prospective and multisite research projects that are often necessary to advance scientific knowledge in pediatric and clinical child psychology are very expensive and require substantial funding (Drotar, 1994). Research funding is also important to the success of many interdisciplinary research programs, especially large-scale projects (see Chapter 13, this volume).KeywordsGovernment AgencyStudy SectionGrant ApplicationGrant ProposalData Analytic PlanThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
