As you begin to prepare yourself for the upcoming grant writing season, consider the recent survey of 195 academics, by Ted and Courtney von Hippel, which found the average proposal takes a principal investigator 116 hours (see publication). It's no wonder that the grant writing process is loathed by many researchers, as it costs them over 100 hours lost time from their ongoing work, all for a success rate as low as 15%.
Big news – the @ERC_Research Scientific Council has decided to sign the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment #ReformingRA (see last paragraph)! Excellent further evidence of the great momentum that #CoARA is sustaining.
