What I need help with
I am preparing my first SERB Core Research Grant proposal. My research area is structural health monitoring using IoT sensors.
Specific questions:
- What is the typical review timeline.how many months between submission and decision?
- Is the budget justification section as important as the technical merit section?
- Should I include international collaborators or is that a distraction for a first application?
- What is the realistic success rate for first-time applicants?
I am applying as an Assistant Professor with 2 years of post-PhD experience and 6 publications.
