How to: | The three main sections of the Research Strategy Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses well-reasoned and appropriate? Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success presented? f the project is in the early stages of development, will the strategy establish feasibility and how will particularly risky aspects be managed? If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for protection of human subjects, and inclusion of minorities and members of both sexes/genders, and the inclusion of children, justified in terms of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
