  8. Specific Aims • Rule of Thumb (#): NO MORE than 1 SA for each project year • Separate, discrete Aims • such that lack of progress on one does not impede progress on another • “No fishing” • Hypothesis driven research! • Wording: • Major predictions of Central Hypothesis • lower-order, SA-specific, working hypotheses ok • ‘compare’, ‘describe’, ‘catalog’, ‘investigate’ … and the like, often connote descriptive, rather than hypothesis driven research

  9. A thought about Innovation… • Review success is required for funding success. • Reviewer enthusiasm is required for review success. • “Innovation” can be a useful way to generate reviewer enthusiasm.
