Error to avoid when preparing a research application

The public/non-scientific summaries are very important tools used in fundraising, communication and marketing efforts by the Canadian Cancer Society. The language used should be appropriate for a lay audience and should follow the format described. Write as if you were explaining your research project to a high school class or to a donor at the door.

The proposal and scientific abstract sections contain inserted symbols and heading styles not supported in the rich text editor. Refer to the document Using the EGrAMS rich text editor for information on the correct way to format the proposal.

No abstracts for “Summary of Other Funding Applied For and Received” are included. The abstracts are needed by the panel members to determine budgetary overlap.

The content should be appropriately labelled as a figure, table or chart and should only contain supporting information/data, including appropriate legend descriptions.
