As a newcomer, where can I find a list of potential international research grants with their timeline for PhD studies in medicine and cancer fields? Additionally, where can I find an example of an appealing grant proposal that includes an effective budgeting plan?
There are several resources where you can find international research grants and sample grant proposals with effective budgeting for medicine and cancer PhD studies as a newcomer. Here are a few:
In addition to these resources, you can also search for international research grants and sample grant proposals on academic search engines like Google Scholar or databases like PubMed. You may also want to consider contacting potential advisors or professors in your field of interest for advice and guidance on finding funding opportunities.
Dear Malik Stalbert Thank you for your response and the list of resources. I appreciate it. Can you confirm whether these resources are eligible for funding for a PhD student project in the field of medicine and cancer? Specifically, I am interested in finding funding opportunities as a newcomer to the field.
It is challenging to find specific examples due to the confidentiality of grant applications but you can seek guidance from the following:
University Research Offices: Contact the research offices or grant support departments at your university. They often provide workshops or training sessions on grant writing and budgeting. They may have examples or templates of successful grant proposals that can serve as a reference.
Mentor or Advisor: Consult with your PhD mentor or advisor. They can provide guidance and may have previous successful grant proposals that they can share with you as examples. They can also assist you in preparing a budgeting plan tailored to your specific research project.
Professional Associations and Societies: Explore professional associations and societies in your field of research, such as medical or cancer research societies. These organizations often provide resources, workshops, and guidelines on grant writing and budgeting.
Here is a basic template for a budget section in a PhD grant proposal. Keep in mind that the specific items and amounts will vary depending on your research project, field, and funding agency requirements.
