While Elizabeth Barrett Browning counted 25 ways in which she loves her husband
in her poem, "How Do I Love Thee? Let me Count the Ways," we identified only
eight ways to evaluate the potential for success of a federal research grant
proposal. This may be surprising, as it seems upon initial glance of the review
criteria used by various federal funding agencies that each has its own distinct
set of "rules" regarding the review of grant proposals for research and
scholarship. Much of the grantsmanship process is dependent upon the review
criteria, which represent the funders' desired impact of the research. But since
most funders that offer research grants share the overarching goals of supporting
research that (1) fits within its mission and (2) will bring a strong return on
its financial investment, the review criteria used to evaluate research grant
proposals are based on a similar set of fundamental questions. In this article,
we compare the review criteria of 10 US federal agencies that support research
through grant programs, and demonstrate that there are actually only a small and
finite number of ways that a grant proposal can be evaluated. Though each funding
agency may use slightly different wording, we found that the majority of the
agencies' criteria address eight key questions. Within the highly competitive
landscape of research grant funding, new researchers must find support for their
research agendas and established investigators and research development offices
must consider ways to diversify their funding portfolios, yet all may be
discouraged by the apparent myriad of differences in review criteria used by
various funding agencies. Guided by research administrators and research
development professionals, recognizing that grant proposal review criteria are
similar across funding agencies may help lower the barrier to applying for
federal funding for new and early career researchers, or facilitate funding
portfolio diversification for experienced researchers. Grantmakers are
furthermore provided valuable guidance to develop and refine their own proposal
review criteria.
