What are the Common Challenges in Obtaining Starting Grants?
Securing a starting grant can be challenging due to several factors:
Competition: The number of applicants often exceeds the available funding, making it a highly competitive process. Proposal Quality: A poorly written or unclear research proposal can significantly reduce the chances of success. Clarity, originality, and feasibility are critical aspects. Experience: Limited experience in grant writing and project management can be a barrier for early-career researchers.
