In this thread, I am sharing some #GrantWriting tips from my reviewer's perspective (as I spent most of this month's evenings & weekends reviewing grant proposals for (inter)national agencies) Hope it will be helpful to you @academicchatter OpenAcademics #AcademicTwitter

Tips on writing a NIH R01 on #AI. In last 6 weeks our group landed 4 NIH / National Cancer Institute R & U grants on #AI in #imaging & #medicine. I got a number of enquiries about grant writing tips. I share some thoughts below. Also free offer - Happy to review & provide f/b on your S aims page
