Prof. Luca Comai studies plate genomes to help crops grow better, faster and stronger. His federally funded research looks at how plants like potatoes, grapes and fruit trees change over time, especially plants grown from cuttings instead of seeds. Learn more: ucdav.is/FLTL. #FromLabsToLives

This #tiptuesday we are revisiting one of our grant writing tips on the importance of clearly addressing an RFP's review criteria - the rubric reviewers use to evaluate your proposal!

Water connects us — marsh to ocean, coast to community.
So does public science. Federally funded research protects lives in emergencies, strengthens fisheries, and builds the long-term knowledge we depend on every day.

Sharing this great piece on moving the bar for discussing research impact from an abstract concept to concrete changes in people's everyday lives.

Grant writers need to be able to justify not just why the work should be done, but also that the work CAN be done. In this week's #tiptuesday, we discuss how to demonstrate feasibility in your next grant proposal.

In 2025, we were reminded of the value of UC Davis and its profound impact on lives. Our commitment to research, teaching and public service continued to drive progress and create opportunities for the next generation of leaders, scientists, engineers, athletes, artists, doctors and veterinarians.
UC Davis research shows that sauerkraut could be good for your gut. Researchers found that fermentation changes cabbage in ways that support digestion and help the gut stay strong. This work was supported in part by the USDA,.

"How can we keep writing when we don’t have the spark (which, truthfully, is most of the time)?"
This @timeshighered.bsky.social article discusses skill power for academic writers - to make progress even when inspiration is missing.

Reviewers faced with high proposal volume and limited time may not be able to read every word of every grant. This post discusses that the question isn’t 'how do we write for skim-readers?', but 'how do make writing easier for everyone to read?'”

UC Davis Delivers progress toward better nutrition & health for all. At the Western Human Nutrition Research Center, researchers study how people respond differently to foods & nutrients, so dietary guidance is not one-size-fits-all advice. #UCDavisDelivers #FromLabsToLives https://bit.ly/4kdhmqQ
Attendees at our weekly Grant Writing Power Hours have been making great progress towards their grant writing! Having dedicated co-writing time is very powerful!

Another tip for @ucdavis.bsky.social investigators preparing their new NIH Common Form biosketch!
You can arrange your Products by clicking them in the reverse order you'd like them listed (first one clicked is at the bottom of the list, last one clicked will be listed at the top). #academicsky
@ucdavis.bsky.social Another tip for the new NIH biosketches. Up to 10 TOTAL products allowed in the whole biosketch (5 in each of two parts). Part 1 (circled in red) are referenced in the Personal Statement. Part 2 (circled in green) are referenced in the Contributions to Science. #academicsky
Debby Stegura, Class of '79, advocates for continued funding for land-grant universities such as UC Davis because of the significant return on investment for the public good.

@ucdavis.bsky.social For those who don't want to write HTML code to format their NIH biosketch Personal Statement and Contributions to Science, use a Canvas page to format, click the </> button, then copy and paste everything into SciENcv. Just remember the tags count as characters! #academicsky
Yes! SciENcv definitely does not like Safari.
Quick tip for those working on new NIH biosketchs: When importing positions from ORCiD, SciENcv doesn't recognize your current position. To correct this and update your Position Title under identifying info, edit your current position and click the button - this will fix both at once. #academicsky
