The competition for research funds in epidemiology, preventive medicine, and biostatistics is fiercely competitive, and at the same time, the grant application and review process at agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has undergone significant revisions. In such a dynamic and ever-evolving field, Writing Grant Proposals in Epidemiology, Preventive Medicine, and Biostatistics, Second Edition, aims to provide effective guidance on writing grant proposals that stand out in this highly competitive environment.

The updated second edition of this book covers all aspects of the grant writing process, including new chapters on Fellowship Grants and Career Development Awards designed specifically for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career faculty. It offers valuable strategies to emphasize the "overall impact" of a grant, a crucial factor in determining NIH funding. The book also provides step-by-step guidelines for grant structure and style, alongside broader strategies for developing a robust research funding portfolio.

Furthermore, the book delves into common errors and pitfalls that can hinder the success of grant proposals, offering critical dos and don'ts to help writers craft solid proposals. Extensive examples from successfully funded proposals are included to illustrate key concepts and provide practical insights.

Written by an established NIH reviewer with extensive inside knowledge and a remarkable track record of funding, Writing Grant Proposals in Epidemiology, Preventive Medicine, and Biostatistics, Second Edition serves as an essential cookbook of the appropriate ingredients needed to construct a winning grant proposal. This text is not only relevant for early-stage investigators, including graduate students, medical students/residents, and postdoctoral fellows, but also valuable for more experienced faculty, clinicians, epidemiologists, and other health professionals who have struggled to secure funding.

By following the guidance provided in this book, researchers and professionals can increase their chances of success in securing research funds and advancing their careers in epidemiology, preventive medicine, and biostatistics.
