Abstract
In this education paper, we want to give some advice to aid in successful scientific grant writing. Besides defining an important research hypothesis and how to support this hypothesis, there are also technical aspects in grant writing that need to be fulfilled. Therefore, read carefully the requirements before starting to write the proposal. You must also determine what skilled people, equipment and consumables are needed in order to reach your research goal. It is advised to develop a timeline with the key milestones (background, partnership, budget, writing, peer-evaluation, submission). Spend enough time on the summary, title and acronyms, in order to make them attractive to the reader. The research objectives must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-Sensitive), not DUMB (Diverse, Unmeasurable, Mediocre and Basically-Unachievable). In the end, understand that also non-experts will review your grant and therefore they should be able to understand what your goals are, but also at the same time add sufficient details of your proposed methodology to convince the experts.
