Discovered the article —The Novelty Paradox & Bias for Normal Science: Evidence from Randomized Medical Grant Proposal Evaluations-—reading an Atlantic article online. I teach grant writing seminars at Northwestern University and Rush University for PhDs, post docs, and faculty members, and we spend some time in our sessions discussing the innovation criteria required in NIH applications. I will be sharing this article with my seminar participants as confirmation of my general, and to this point, non-scientific observation that successful grant are "modest" yet have an innovative spin to them that expands the current understanding of accepted science. A terrific article by an accomplished group of researchers that demonstrates the amazing amount of work and thought that goes into a methodologically rigorous study.
