Tip:
You should be able to recognize some names of people you have cited during your doctoral studies or early career. This will help you pinpoint if you’re targeting the right study section within your granting agency.
Knowing your reviewers’ background and expertise will also help
you highlight or enhance certain aspects of your proposal to capture their attention. Does one of the reviewers cite a particular researcher frequently? What does he/she find fascinating about this particular investigator (writing style, body of work, etc.) that you can learn from? Adding this extra layer of research to your grant writing preparation can set you apart from others.
