  34. Strategies to Develop Successful Community-Academic Collaborations • Share the power. Eliminate or minimize perceived or potential differences in power. • Learn how each partner operates/functions. Remove operational or logistical barriers to implementing proposals. • Communicate well. Create a system of communicating that facilitates open and honest dialogue.

  35. Eliminate or minimize perceived or potential differences in power Strategies identified by small groups • Provide opportunities for regular interactions • Invite community input into proposals early, not after the proposal is developed • Consider the demands and limited resources of many community organizations • Researchers must respect and value the community for its experiences and assets not just subjects for research • Transparency regarding research budget/ financial resources available

  36. Remove operational or logistical barriers to implementing proposals Strategies identified by small groups • Make it a ‘co-learning’ experience • Academic investigators/staff must be transparent about their motives/incentives for doing research • Acknowledge and respect that research is not everyone’s ‘full-time job’ • Community organizations must acknowledge their strengths and limitations to do research. • Be willing to try new approaches. • LISTEN

  37. Create an effective system of communicating Strategies identified by small groups • Create contact list with best way to communicate, best time of day, etc • Provide regular updates re: progress, concerns, etc. • Provide cultural competency training, ‘community-competency training’ • Develop a ‘research dictionary’. Make sure that partners know what the words mean. • Set CLEAR expectations for everyone. Put it in writing.

  38. Tips on Writing to Get Funded Karen L. Dodson Office of Faculty Affairs Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis, Missouri February 10, 2010

  39. Objectives of Today’s Presentation • Summarize the journalistic style of writing to present a clear and concise message in your grant application • Provide specific grant-writing tips • Provide a suggested template to help you overcome writer’s block

  40. How to Write Like a Journalist

  41. William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway

  42. Faulkner: The Artist “Loving all of it even while he had to hate some of it because he knows now that you don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.”

  43. Hemingway: The Journalist • “All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”

  44. Hemingway: The Journalist • When challenged to write a full story in six words, he responded: “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.” • --Courtesy of Jay Piccirillo, MD

  45. Word Choice • Use common words as much as possible. • Define technical words early. • Never assume that your reader will understand “jargon.” • Always spell out abbreviations at first mention. • Don’t trust spell check. • Proofread, proofread, proofread!

  46. Word Choice Use the word that conveys your meaning most accurately. When deciding between two such words, choose the shorter word: Approximately About Commence Begin Finalize Finish Prioritize Rank Terminate End Utilize Use

  47. Word Choice Problems The problems that copyeditors see most frequently are words carelessly interchanged. This can affect meaning.

  48. Word Choice Problems Ability vs. Capacity • Ability is the mental or physical power to do something, or the skill in doing it. • Capacity is the full amount that something can hold, contain, or receive.

  49. Word Choice Problems Continual vs. Continuous • Continual means intermittent, occurring at repeated intervals. • Continuous means uninterrupted, unbroken continuity.

  50. Word Choice Problems Affect/Effect: Affect: (verb) influence or modify Effect: (noun) result Among/Between: Among: used with more than two choices Between: used with only two choices
