- Being involved in ESPR activities before applying for funding can give some insight into what it is looking for.
- Don’t overpromise: it’s better to focus on a specific problem in a topical area.
- Preliminary data will definitely help convince the funder that your project has translational potential.
- Use whatever institutional support is on offer, particularly for getting the finances right.
