A big thank you for my big day
Hi there
Hope you are well. Just want to say thank you so much for everything on our Wedding day. You did an awesome job. Everything looked beyond what I expected. It was sooooooo gorgeous. Thank you for making our special day breathtakingly beautiful and for being so much more than our Wedding Planner, you became part of our family. May your business grow beyond your expectation you truly are the best out there.
Lots of Love
Lourens & Carla Meere
*PS. Please let me know when you are free so we can go for a drink
You did an awesome job!
Hi Khali,
I am finally back at work, and just wanted to send you an email to say Thank You for making my Wedding Day such an awesome experience. Everything looked beautiful, and all the guests commented on how stunning everything looked.
The chapel was so whimsical and romantic, and the colour scheme in the Reception hall matched so perfectly, the candles added that extra bit of glamour.
I will recommend you to anyone that is looking for a co-ordinator, and will never forget how much effort you put into our day!
Thank You Again for all of your help!
Samantha van Nispen
Everything was stunning!
Dear Khali
For a guy it is hard to fathom or understand the importance of "her big day".
Often we guys get reminded after the event just how special the day was. It is easy for her to say thank you and congratulate you on the stellar job done. Sometimes that is not enough though.
Last week we were having a braai with some friends when a lady friend commented that our wedding was the most beautiful she had ever been to. She should know as she too is a wedding coordinator who naturally looks for the negative in other coordinators.
She commented on how the flowers and the decor was just simply "us" and that the mood set at the reception hall was calm and friendly and lent itself to an elegant and upmarket wedding.
Now being a guy, that put the thinking light on in my head and to my astonishment I realised she was right. Your flowers were beautiful, the bouquet was out of this world, the decor,overlays,candles,seating arrangements,and of course the candelabra was all stunning. Its funny how on the night if something is perfect we guys often overlook and forget to notice things. I honestly did not think anything was out of place on the evening. this is a tribute to your impeccable taste and without doubt underrated professionalism.
I can only thank you for the wonderful caring nature shown to us both before and during our big day, helping us with our pre marriage meeting with the venue by asking the questions we had no idea to ask. you are more professional than you give yourself credit for and I wish you all the success you deserve and I know you will receive.
from your most satisfied customer

Thank you so much for making our wedding so magical
Morning Khali,
We can now sit in front of our techno gadgets and communicate. What a stunning setup your team did for us. Honestly our Saturday morning started with heavy stress moments and
As soon as I saw what the guys did I felt my wife needed to see that immediately in order to lift her spirits. Many thanks for lifting our spirits and please don't be shocked when you see photos of this setup being flown around as people pride themselves for being there in person to witness the great day. You guys made our day and yes, we commit to referring many OTHER people to you.
We will surely keep in touch and we are still excited. Both Nonceba and I plus many other people at our wedding have declared this decor the most beautiful one we have seen.

I'm making some graphics wherein I want to loop through the RedGreenBlue color-components. Sometimes I can simply write something like:
  $x = 20; $white=$img->colorAllocate(255,$x*2,255); $img->line(0,0,50,50,$white); $white = $img->colorAllocate(255,$x*10,150); $img->line(50,50,150,250,$white);
 And then it works. Sometimes this doesn't work so i try to deallocate f.e.:
 $blue = $img->colorAllocate(0,0,25); $img->colorDeallocate($blue); $blue = $img->colorAllocate(0,0,25*$teller);
But this doesn't work either. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thank you.

In four days we leave on our long awaited trip to Alaska. Alaska has loomed large in my imagination since childhood. My mom graduated high school in Fairbanks and my dad went up the Alaska highway twice in the years following World War II. I remember dad reciting Robert Service and Jack London poetry to me as a child. He memorized many poems and would recite them from heart: Call of the Wild, the Yukon, stories of gold miners and shady women and descriptions of a cold and untamed land overflowing with beauty and danger. He filled the poems with drama and excitement and I would sit, eyes closed, mesmerized, imagining these wild places and crazy characters.
We won't be climbing into an old car and traveling the Alaska highway which, back then, was no more than a cow path in many places. The Alaska highway was so rugged both the cars my dad used were totaled by the time they got back home. Nope, we will be flying in luxury directly to Anchorage, nonstop from Minneapolis. November is not exactly the ideal time to go to Alaska, but Kevin is going for work and the company is sending me along. He only works a couple days, leaving plenty of time for vacationing. I definitely want to see the northern lights so I'm praying for dramatic solar storms the next two weeks.
What else? Girdwood, Seward, Homer, Denali, Matanuska and Turnagain glacier, Flat Top, Chugach Park, Whittier, Whitehorse, Eureka? Will I really be able to touch a glacier?

Photographer's Note
Nothing special picture, taken random from my archive. I have read that the hurricane Irma hit Cuba and the city that suffered most was the village of Caibarien. It is the whole under water.
We can read a lot about Irma approaching Florida but not so much about Cuba. I feel very sorry for Cubans as they are very poor and it will be difficult time for them to recover.
Havana was flooded, see
Bigger beta piccture
Similar view maybe it would be better for the main upload.

Ciao cara Malgo, lovely composition with original trasportation system, fine details, excellent clarity, wonderful colors and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio
snunney (130965) 2017-09-11 1:47
Hello Malgo,
I believe the Cubans are very resilient people and though it will take time I am sure they will overcome their present difficulties. In the meantime, we can enjoy this pleasant daily life scene from your archives. Lots of little detail to observe. Excellent technical realisation.
holmertz (84507) 2017-09-11 2:20
Hello Malgo,
Since nothing special is my favorite category I enjoy this photo, even if it's "nothing special". It's just a nice glimpse from an ordinary small town street with ordinary people possibly waiting for things to happen. The WS is also a nice picture. The storms are indeed disastrous to a lot of people and islands that have been totally devastated and so many poor people have lost everything. How will nature and people recover?
Kind regards,
papagolf21 (146112) 2017-09-11 2:25
Bonjour, chère Malgo,

Merci de nous faire découvrir d'une aussi belle façon le monde sous d'autres facettes.

Daily life scene in rural Cuba, both photo worth to be as main post, malgo.
The street action well detected, especially the easy riding of the guy on his three-wheels bike.
And yes, my friend - we have trains in Israel.

It's a tragedy what is happening there. Nature cannot be controlled and innocent people die. It's so sad for such nice places were destroyed...

Hello Malo,
I think that everyone of us complies with the people where the hurricane has passed.
The people be poor and this hurricane this is real a disaster.
Also nice perpective and depth picture.
Very well done, nice colour, excellent sharp and clear. TFS.
Best regards,

Hello Malgo,
Thankyou for putting this international disaster into perspective. It has barrelled through and damaged many countries although the US seems to be in the limelight. Lets hope there was no looting as there was in Florida. Tfs!

Hello, Malgo!
As I usually read newspapers from Cuba (granma.cu) and the Dominican Republic (listindiario.com), I know more about what's going on there than in Florida. They are now beginning to rebuild what was lost in the huricane. At least they are much more prepared to that than Haiti, that fortunately hasn't been hit very hard this time. A simple but beautiful image that reminds me of my wonderful trip to Cuba 7 years ago!
sacimar (36979) 2017-09-11 9:42
Hello Malgo,
good image of this street in Cuba, I hope the hurricane effects will be solved soon, the picture show a typical caribbean scene, well done,

Buena noche y feliz comienzo de semana.
Todo lo mejor desde el sur de España.
alvaraalto (39284) 2017-09-11 13:54
Hello Malgo
Good idea to show us this picture of Caibarien in better times. You are right, there is less attention for the damage Irma made in Cuba. Here the news is full of the damage in St Maarten, part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, hitted when Irma was still category 5. Now we have send our king to them to help.
Groet Rob

Ciao Malgo
un'ottima dedica a questo popolo martoriato dalla vita e dalle calamità.
Due foto che ci mostrano la vita di ogni giorno, forse le foto migliori per capire meglio gli altri popoli e le loro abitudini.

Hi Malgorzata,
You have captured well the action of the taxi-bike driver. The point of view is showing the details of the buildings. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo,
It is sad to hear about the calamity that has hit this town. We were so preoccupied by Florida that we did not pay attention to the rest of the world. Nice tribute, I hope they have a speedy recovery, too.

First off, you all are amazing.
Words can only begin to describe so many of you during the last two weeks. Your comments, cards and letters have been so wonderful to read during this challenging time in our family. Thanks to the world of new media, many of you could drop notes that helped us through some of the darkest days as we prepared for Kent to leave this earth and enter into his new life.
Following his death, you continued to show support that was both overwhelming and humbling. We are establishing a scholarship in his memory to be given at Jesup High School. He was a graduate, past school board member and continued supporter of JHS. We know he wanted to make sure the next generation of farmer gets the opportunity for education before coming back to the farm.
Thank you for spending time coming to the visitation and funeral. I'm glad it got loud at both events. That's the way he wanted it. Thank you for the food, flowers and offers for assistance. I do ask that you have conversations with your loved ones to find out what they want when the time comes. We were thankful Kent had shared with us his intentions.
Kristine, my youngest sister, and I both made comments during the funeral. Here are my remarks, not so much for you to read, but as small place on the internet to learn more about the man who cared for the land, his family and community.
Remembering Kent Yeager
January 17, 2014
Standing up here does bring back a ton of memories.
It is from this very spot that I did some of my first public speaking by reading scripture. This is also the same vantage point Pastor Stoffregen could look up into the balcony most Sunday's and see two squirrelly little boys being contained by their fathers. Mr. John Bergman, that's just a hypothetical story. Maybe.
This is also the same church where Kent spent many days of his life from baptism to confirmation and would continue to deacon and church council.
That's one side of Kent Yeager. But let's get to the chase here and why so many of you are here.
Who had Kent drop in to your house unannounced? Put your hand up please… keep it up here… now how many of you received a phone call ahead of time?
This is the point in the program when we could go deep with fishing stories. He cast a wide net in getting people into the boat. He hooked you on the sport and the social side of it.
But really, I think Dad enjoyed the telling of the fish tale the most.
Or any story for that matter. Dad could really spin a yarn. He did great character development and you felt like you were there. Oftentimes, the finish was the challenge. He'd crack himself up so much – and laugh his way through the punchline.
I'd feel like I did a good job telling a story when I could get him to laugh. I remember one night I was speaking to the Jesup Lions Club on Farmer Appreciation Night. I ran a couple of jokes by him before hand to see if they were too inside baseball for the room or just a bit too sharp against someone. He laughed, but thought I should go a little softer on the guys there.
After we were done with the formal event and were gathered in the lounge area, I told my original jokes and he howled — along with everyone else. I am so thankful for that night as the Weber's and Breuer's sure enjoyed those jokes that are not fit for broadcast.
He had good instincts on who he could have fun with.
Take the farmer wave for instance. You know the one. He'd have an out-of-state passenger in the truck who would be amazed at how many people Kent knew. So, Dad, sensing an opportunity, would say as the next truck on the road approached, "hey there's Tommy" and wave. The driver of the other vehicle would wave back. He'd do it again and again until the passenger figured out he'd been had.
The other night mom and my sisters sat and read through Dad's old diaries. We enjoyed his attention to detail about bank discussions, children's progresses, fishing adventures and meetings he attended.
He was very matter of fact for a long time. We'd see very little emotion other than an outburst over escaped cows, trampled fence or lack of rain.
But lately he'd shown the ability to be more emotional over a family memory of his father, or the days of going to sale barn to bid on cattle with Pop, his grandfather. Dad sure did love the cattle business.
Or even a holiday that was just right because we would all be together. We'd laugh and be loud, imagine that. We would also play board games, except for Kent, who didn't want to actually play the game, just offer "assistance" by shouting out random answers. Sometimes he was correct, other times he was wrong. But we never knew if we should believe him or not because the answers typically sounded like they could be correct. And then he would walk away from the game satisfied that he had us all completely confused and annoyed. By the way, his best game was Balderdash, the competition to make you answers sound believable enough to fool others.
We'd sing Christmas songs, including one he was very insistent on this year, "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer."
That just happened a few weeks ago. We'll always have that time in our hearts.
I'm really sad because today marks the last organized story time with the focus on Kent. Many of you have told stories about Dad that we didn't know. And one big thing we've learned is how much he was a part of so many lives in an impactful way. He was friends to so many people. Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook was afraid if Kent ever joined the social network, he'd overwhelm the system.
In a way, I'm glad this happened when it did. So many of his friends were able to be here and got to memorialize him.
His grandfather Pop had said, it's no fun being the last leaf on the tree. Kent didn't want to be the remaining leaf.
Dad was always one of the last ones to leave church. How ironic today he'll be the first one out the door.
He was tired, he was worn, he was weak.
And now he's on a great big beautiful river. And the fish are bitin'.

Telephone Thank You
This was one of the first rubber stamps I bought after I started stamping in '08 and what could be more appropriate than a phone stamp for a phone man.
This was this weeks challenge sketch from {Freshly Made} Sketches (I missed their deadline by a few hrs.)
I heat embossed the phone and words with black embossing powder for some dimension and tactile feel.
Happy Creating--
Beverly G ♥

text: Barney909 2 Posted November 13, 2016 Hi all, Has anyone come across one of these before, I can't seem to find out anything about this lens? Front markings are ISCO-GÖTTINGEN ISCORAMA - ANAMORPHOT 1.5x - 49 MC. It has the the same front and rear element diameters as a 54. However this one has a 72mm rear mounting thread, and instead of buttons, has the same alignment mechanism as the 42. I haven't been able to test it yet, thinking of hacking together a UV filter mount. In the meantime does anyone have any more info on this lens? Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you! 2 Liszon and PepperJay reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LISTEN to any ideas that are popping into your head right now regarding how you can spread the word to others. It doesn't matter if they seem to be 'whacky' 'crazy' or even ridiculous, you are being guided now by your higher self to know what needs to be done now. Also a reminder about the CLB i.e. Community Leaders Brief available here on PFC for downloading.

If it's good enough for Hillary it's good enough for me. While I loved my girl rocking them in every color imaginable I never thought of getting one for myself until I ran across this little number recently. It's so not me, but it weirdly called to me and found its way back into my closet. I told you recently that my style is evolving pretty quickly and this is definitely out of my typical comfort zone. I am totally digging the all black aesthetic though, and now that I've got the gear I might as well start the Kinsey 2020 Campaign: Make Pantsuits Great Again!

Why can we not see the backside of the Moon from Earth? And, I was reading about 581 c, and have a question regarding the theory that the newly discovered planet possibly may NOT rotate, meaning one side of the planet is always light and the other side of the planet is always dark. I guess I assumed that all planets rotate…but sometimes in opposite directions (like Earth and Venus, I think?) Are there any planets in our solar system that don't rotate?
All planets (and asteroids and moons) that we know of rotate, although some (like Venus) rotate very slowly. Perhaps there is some confusion between "no rotation" and "rotation that keeps the same side toward the parent object." The Moon, for example, rotates once in each orbit around the Earth, thus keeping the same side toward the Earth. Its rotation period and its orbital period are the same. Thus we cannot see the far side of the Moon; if it did not rotate, we could see all parts of it from Earth over the course of a month. Some scientists have also suggested that the new planet Gliese 581c rotates in the same period that it orbits its star, keeping one side in eternal light and the other in eternal night. The cause would be the same for this planet as for our Moon: the friction of tides that gradually slows a fast-rotating object until its rotation period equals its orbital period. This is likely for the new planet, but its rotation period has not actually been measured. The chances that it is not rotating, of that its rotation is slower than its 13-hour orbital period, are negligible.

At the Cemetery is has the Tomb of the unknown, it over looks Washington, D.C. The unknown soldiers are from World War I, World War II, Korean War, and the Vietnam War. On memorial day, each of the soldiers graves are marked with an American flag.
9: The Capitol Building is the place where the legislative office meet. The capitol building started running in 1973. After the war of 1812, the capitol building was partially burned. The reconstruction began with in 1815 and wasn't finished till 1819. On the inside of the capitol building there is beautiful artwork. The rotunda is the highest part of the capitol building. The rotunda was the part that connects the House of Reps and senates. L'enfant designed the structure of the capitol building. In the 1850's capitol building was being expanded.
11: The white house is the place where the president works and lives. To an American this is very important because it are out base to the government and it is where our president works and carries out his duties. If we didn't have the white house or a president our country would be a total mess. In 1812 the White House was set on fire by the British.
13: The Marine Corp Memorial is a statue outside out of the Arlington National Cemetery. It is also called Iwo Jima Memorial. From different angles you can see the flags raising. It is showing people from the Marines. It is dedicated to all people who have served in the Marine Corps. The memorial was designed by Delix de Waldon. He got this idea from a picture of raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
15: The Washington Monument is a monument built for Washington. It is in the National Mall. It was built to honor our first President. The monument can be seen in the reflection pool. The monument is 555 ft. tall. It is the tallest monument in D.C. It was designed by Robert Mill who was a architect in the 1840's. It started to be built in 1884. I think that the monument is cool and I wish we could have gone in it.The monument is like an important symbol of D.C.
17: The Reflecting pool is between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. Both of these can be seen in the reflecting pool. The reflecting pool is where Martin Luther King and Obama have given speeches. Martin Luther King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech there. At the reflecting pool, you can reflect on everything you have done. It is important to me as an American because it is designed in an interesting way, that you can see both the Washington Monument and the Lincoln's Memorial.
18: SHoes.
19: Seeley, Ally, Erin, Nijah, Etti, and Clare at the Native American Museum.
20: Claire on the ground after she was thrown off.

Bentley said $2,000 of that was a personal check, but the contract specified cash or a cashier's check.Concert organizer Frank Young disputes that, saying he had $18,000 in cash and a $2,000 check from the Knights of Columbus, a service organization. He said it was "disgraceful" that Greenwood didn't perform.Greenwood said he has done 18 tours without charge for the military, but the Denver concert was booked as a paid appearance and not a charity concert.He said it was only the third time in his 25 years of touring that a pay dispute stopped him from playing."I feel bad for the audience," he said.

I started this journey with an open mind, comfy socks, and ready to bake! I never knew about the Danish art of cozy living, but I am willing to try anything at this point in my life to start taking thing easy and enjoy the simple thing I life.
I am starting 2019 with a different focus or intent for this new year. I am intentionally making small changes in my life because I want to be happier. October 2018 changed my life for the worse as well as for the better because I experienced the worst hurricane in my life time. I have always resided in Florida and experienced several hurricanes. This one was different. Hurricane Michael devastated my community.
Everything changed for my family and myself. The sadness and helplessness I witnessed devastated my heart.
Now that 2018 is behind me I want to live my life with the intent to live a happier grateful life.
I started my research for the happiest people on earth and I came across an article about the Danes. The wonderful people of Denmark are known to be the happiest people on earth. How is this possible? The people of Demark have a mindset of Hygge! Hygge is the feeling of contentment and comfort.
I wanted to have that lifestyle, but I didn't know where to begin or where to start. I took the Pinterest (where would we be without Pinterest?) and found a couple of pins and started to incorporate the ideas into my daily life.
At this current moment I am enjoying reading "Hygge", "The Little Book of Hygge", and "Hygge: The Danish Art of Happiness". I have grown to have an appreciation for Hygge because it's about living with the simple things in life and learning to be content and learning gratitude. The Danes have long dark winters so instead of being down and upset not being able to go outside they have created a lifestyle of making being indoors a great thing.
The Danes have mastered the art of being indoors and being happy. With the weather agasint them with having long winters they managed to come up with the art of living cozy, togetherness, and just appreciating the smaller things in life.
Living in the US I feel that most Americans, we tend to be attached to our devices and not connecting with ourselves and with others.
This 2019 I have declared Hygge or myself. Learning togetherness, being cozy, and learning contentment and gratitude. This is a time to shift my life away from negative media and people, meditate, practice self-care, and learn to make things from scratch. To charish alone time and take up a hobby or learn new crafts. It's about making the best out of what is given in life and be grateful with what we have.
Let's make 2019 a time for shifting our lives towards happiness and contentment. To explore the idea that you can be happy but it take effort, will power, and determination.
Unti next time!

Funny thing that I'm noticing personally is that I'm taking less and less gear with me to conferences. All I brought with me to SLCC was my laptop, which was on the THIRD day, not the first two. I use my mobile for IRC and email, and periodic IMing.I think Eric Rice is contemplating becoming a charismahiki.
Didn't bring a camera.
Didn't bring the iRiver.
Didn't bring the video cam.
Now I'm not even bringing the laptop. (okay, proximity has a lot to do with it)
Is my body the next thing?

Grant Writing: Guidelines and Best Practices
Engage Your Audience: Write with the Reviewer in Mind
- A happy reviewer is a positive reviewer. Think about your reviewers as you write and presume that they have already read many grant proposals as they come to yours and will not have the energy to struggle through disorganized, turgid prose.
- You can make your application easier to review by organizing your content (have each new paragraph pick up logically where the previous one left off to make it flow). Make your discussion concise and precise. Avoid jargon, define acronyms and abbreviations, and use clear and unambiguous language.
- Think of your proposal as a compelling story: get your reviewers as excited as you are about your field by describing the stakes, the context, and the potential knowledge translation. Do not annoy your reviewers by forcing them to struggle to understand your points. Use a topic sentence at the beginning of each paragraph to inform them of what that paragraph will be about.
- Formatting: Use logical, bold, numbered headings and paragraphs that are no longer than ¾ of a page so the reviewers can visually comprehend and navigate through the structure of your argument. Use italics sparingly to highlight key sentences or keywords. Use bullet points to break up blocks of text and to visually represent a well-defined step-by-step process.
- Balance detailed descriptions of the science with a persuasive answer to the question "so what? Why does this research need to be carried out and how will it be ground-breaking in the context of your field?"
- Language choices: Use words like "ground-breaking" and "cutting-edge," as well as the future-tense "will" rather than the conditional "might" to emphasize your highly innovative approach and confidence in its success.
- Do not assume that all of the reviewers will be experts in your particular field. Use language that will be understood by generalists, but that will also convince the experts on the review committee that you really know your stuff. Define technical terminology and acronyms.
- Because you are so close to your own project and work in your field on a daily basis, you may need to consciously try to get perspective on it so you can clearly articulate to an outsider how your project is distinct, urgent, and innovative within the context of your field. Do not assume that the importance of your project is self-evident to reviewers. Context must be described and the ground-breaking nature made explicit.
- Get to the point early: identify the research question, approach and likely outcomes within the first few pages. Describe the key elements of your proposed project before describing disciplinary context.
- Provide Research Context: "While X has been achieved in this field thus far, our project will critically advance the field by doing Y."
- Future Tense: While you will need to address past research and training achievements, it is important that most of your discussion has a forward-looking focus and offers details for how you will achieve future results. Focusing on future achievements subtly implies that you are eager and capable of making further research breakthroughs.
Summaries are More Important than You Might Think
- Summaries are used by committee members to determine their level of expertise for their review.
- Summaries are used for the alignment review to determine the relevance of your proposal. If it is determined to be irrelevant, it will be withdrawn before it goes to review.
- While it may be tempting to give these summaries short shrift, given all of the other tasks you must complete, they are among the most important parts of your application.
- Use summaries at the end of sections and the end of long paragraphs throughout your proposal to wrap up key points or complex ideas, in order to make it easier for the reviewers to follow your train of thought.
- Summaries guide your reviewers and allow you to reframe your project in the way you want, rather than leaving reviewers to struggle to summarize what they have read for themselves and perhaps misconstrue your goals/ambitions.
CRITERION 1: Quality of the Program
1.1 Research Concept
This sub-criterion is intended to assess the research component of the program, as well as the significance of the anticipated outcomes. This section allows you to describe your research program at length and to get the reader excited about its potential. It is important to have a well-organized discussion. A running theme of the application should be that the new infrastructure is absolutely essential for conducting your research. The following structure is one suggested way to present your discussion:
Introduction: Begin by outlining the overall vision of your research program. State the major research goals and explain how the program of research will significantly advance the field.
Proposed Research: Follow the introductory section with a more substantial discussion of your research. Discuss the current state of knowledge and the pressing questions you plan to address. Discuss the present research opportunity and how you will capitalize on it. Describe realistic timelines and be sure to discuss short-term and long-term program outputs.
Significance and Innovation: Compare this work to other research being done nationally and/or internationally, and discuss what sets your work apart. Do similar projects exist in Canada or worldwide? Can you differentiate your project from them? (e.g., "We are currently the only team in the world investigating 'Y'" or "Although research in the field of 'X' has been done before, this would be the first time that..."). Make a case for the uniqueness of your research.
Translation: Address your translation strategies. These may include how you will secure the required resources or ensure effective collaboration. Provide specifics about the nature of the translational opportunity and do not simply state that "we hope translational opportunities may arise from this work.
Tips for this Section:
- Present a coherent vision of your project: build a narrative that explains how the various elements discussed form a cohesive program and not a disconnected collection of experiments.
- Be sure that your goals are extremely well-articulated by placing them in single, succinct sentences at the beginning or end of paragraphs so they stand out.
- Make sure your proposed research program is in line with your expertise described in Stage 1.
- Divide your project into themes subdivided into subsections that clearly defined the justification of the proposed approaches.
- Balance AMBITION and FEASIBILITY by offering quantitative evidence and a realistic timeline for a project that will "significantly advance knowledge and/or its translation into improved health care, health systems and/or health outcomes."
1.2 Research Approach
This sub-criterion is intended to assess the quality of the approach of the proposed program of research. Consider the below paragraph structure:
Begin this section by describing a specific and detailed research program, research strategies and key activities (including methodological approaches and procedures for data collection and analysis). Describe why the approach is appropriate and how it will allow for flexibility as the program evolves. Describe how progress and success will be measured against key milestones and explicitly describe the milestones.
Follow the above discussion with a detailed analysis of potential challenges/risks that might arise to the research program and the knowledge translation. Demonstrate that you have considered realistic mitigation strategies.
Tips for this section:
- Ensure that your research approaches are based on well-established techniques that are well aligned with your expertise and the team assembled by the applicant.
- Offer details of the methodological approaches and make sure they are capable of being carried out in your lab or available by the collaborators and program experts involved.
- While ambitious, make sure that the plan is a logical extension of existing methods.
- Use the word "flexibility" to make it easier on your reviewers who will be looking for this key term in your proposal in relation to the evolving changes in your project.
- Explicitly address your challenges.
- Use bullet points to show reviewers you have a specific step-by-step plan to track progress and mitigate potential pitfalls. Be very specific here.
- Part of your mitigation plan should include alternative strategies.
- The inclusion of a scientific advisory board for measuring progress and success is an excellent idea
- Don't forget to frame your discussion as offering a promising new direction or as developing new methods.
CRITERION 2: Quality of the Expertise, Experience and Resources
2.1: Expertise
This sub-criterion is intended to assess the expertise and experience of the Program Leader(s) as well as any collaborators to collectively deliver on the objectives of the proposed program. It is the responsibility of the Program Leader(s) to ensure that the proposed research program is poised for success. Below is a recommended structure for this section:
Describe the expertise and experience (disciplinary, professional, or methodological) of the proposed Program Leader(s), as well as any collaborators (e.g., researchers, technicians, knowledge-users, partners, patients and trainees, etc.) Explain how you are a world leader in the field and have been recognized. Include h-index and number of citations as well as significant agency funding.
Describe the roles and responsibilities of the Program Leader(s) and link them to the objectives of the research program. Explain how the collaborators, if any, have been carefully selected to complement the PI's expertise.
Describe the level of engagement (e.g., time commitment and contribution) of Program Leader(s).
As applicable, describe the commitment (cash or in-kind) from interested or engaged knowledge user(s) and/or applicant partners.
Describe the coordinated roles of the Program Leader(s) and any collaborators in the oversight and management of the program of research.
Consider including a plan to seek out expertise (new collaborators based on the anticipated future needs of the program of research, as it is expected that the current collaborators may evolve over the duration of the grant, based on the needs of the proposed program.
Tips for this section:
- If there are a large number of key collaborators, ensure that all contributions are explained.
- Emphasize the complementary nature of the experience of the group of experts and collaborators and how this collaboration will maximize the chances of success.
- Ensure that the contributions of all collaborators named in the research program are well defined.
- If relevant, be sure to describe the engagement of translational experts.
- Offer details regarding the managerial expertise of the PI.
- Check to make sure that the grants discussed in this section are listed on the CV and that collaborators mentioned in this section are also mentioned in the form pages.
2.2: Mentorship and Training
This sub-criterion is intended to assess the quality of the mentorship/training plan, through the demonstrated commitment to/level of engagement in shaping the future of the applicant's students, trainees, emerging scholars, and New/Early Career Investigators, as well as other individuals in non-academic, health-related fields.
Begin by offering an outline of training goals, learning opportunities, and key activities. Emphasize how the mentorship and training you offer will position students/trainees for successful research careers or non-academic careers in health-related fields.
Describe specific skill development (e.g., technical/methodological, oral and written, teaching, grants management, budgeting, research values and ethics, and, if appropriate, lab management).
Include structured specifics: consider training programs that include projects targeted to the student's interests, regular one-on-one meetings, and feedback.
Emphasize your own track record in providing this type of training and provide examples of the high positions that some of your former trainees now hold in academia and industry.
Describe planned collaboration with individuals from non-academic spheres
Then offer a rationale for the proposed training approach (a pedagogy).
Discuss potential challenges of the mentorship and training plan and a strategy for identifying and mitigating these challenges.
Offer a plan for how progress and success will be measured and tracked.
Tips for this section:
- Explicitly state that you have graduated [#] PhD students and [#] [postdoctoral fellows over the past [time period].
- Explicitly highlight several trainees that now are [name of position] at [institution, company, etc.]
- Be comprehensive when describing the aspects of your training program. Include technical training, oral and written communication skills, career development, informal mentoring.
- Offer detailed description of mentorship roles and activities. Provide specific examples.
- Consider describing opportunities for trainees to gain exposure to international research and (for senior trainees) teaching other trainees.
- Strike a balance between the supervision and independence offered to trainees.
- Be careful not to over-emphasize recruitment strategies that benefit you while forgetting to assess post-training placements that benefit the students.
- It is also encouraged for reviewers to consider collaboration with individuals from non-academic spheres. It is advised that "Non-academic professionals benefit from both interactions with and access to research resources, and training on use of these resources. The reverse is also true." Consider including discussion of this point.
2.3: Quality of Support Environment
This criterion is intended to assess whether the applicant has the resources necessary in order to successfully deliver on the objectives of the research program in both the short- and long-term. Do not just describe the environment, justify why it is appropriate to the program of research. Devote a paragraph, as applicable, to each of the following issues:
Physical infrastructure (and/or other types of infrastructure such as consortia, professional networks, etc.)
Support personnel
Specialized facilities
Tips for this section:
- Describe key infrastructure in the environment and how it is state-of-the-art.
- Offer specifics regarding the management and support personnel for the proposed project.
- Emphasize, if applicable, the close proximity of the various labs.
- Emphasize the degree of applicant access to all of the specialized technology needed for this project.
- Do not forget to describe the long-term resources to support the facility: mention your leadership in raising the funds to improve facilities.
