Getting your own fellowship is an accomplishment indeed. Well done! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant/page/2#post-880430 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:53:30 +0000 Diana 880430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ha, my PI told me that nobody in the long history of his lab has ever ended up doing what they proposed in their grants!&nbsp; I certainly have not - my current grant is supposed to be for primarily mouse work, and years later I still have not even been trained to go near the mice.&nbsp; You just need to justify the change in your progress report.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant/page/2#post-880407 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 21:28:30 +0000 bj1111 880407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ tanya...the best reason to switch focus even within a grant is if the science leads you in another direction. pm me if you want to "talk". https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-880230 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:59:02 +0000 MsMary 880230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can't believe I missed this!&nbsp; Hooray for you!!!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-880161 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 16:41:46 +0000 Tanya 880161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all so much once again!<br /><br />Scarlet and bj1111, I hear you. &nbsp;I will certainly stay a postdoc for few more years, but I do not want to keep doing it for much longer beyond that. &nbsp;I have started considering various alternatives to running my own lab, such as&nbsp;becoming&nbsp;a research scientist instead or going for a professor position that focuses more on teaching, hence the teaching course I am taking now. &nbsp;It is really hard in current economy as you all now.<br />I am definitely of my cloud nine though. &nbsp; My most recent experiments have shown some things that put the whole project into jeopardy, so I might end up having to switch to a completely new one. &nbsp;Talk about irony with this happening right after getting the grant https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-879815 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 00:14:49 +0000 Makrame 879815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I just saw this thread and wanted to say, congratulations! Getting funding is certainly hard these days so this is a big accomplishment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-879686 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 21:52:47 +0000 bj1111 879686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>prolonging the joy. what an accomplishment especially in this funding environment. no doubt you worked really hard at addressing the critiques and this got you funded. spend some time enjoying the sensation of knowing your funding stream for the next three years. </p> <p>being a pi is so challenging these days. i'm afraid we are losing at least one generation of researchers. hang in there. and realize that staying a postdoc as scarlet says can be a positive option as much as running your own lab. </p> <p>good luck with the writing. there's always something to do in science. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-878779 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:42:43 +0000 Scarlet 878779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an achievement!! Congratulations! I am asking myself similar career questions at the moment in case you ever want to "chat" it out. I was discussing with my old mentor how bad the job market is, and he suggested one can always remain a postdoc. I was kind of floored that this should be considered a career these days. I guess it is the new state of things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-878031 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:21:04 +0000 Jonesy 878031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy for you!

This really is a major accomplishment when so much funding is going down and applications are going up. Congratulations. </p> <p>Luckily, you don't have to make a decision right away. If you love the lab and experimenting, then going the PI route is not always the best. You will know. Trust what you love......or maybe switch to an area where the experiments are shorter : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-my-first-grant#post-875793 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 18:04:19 +0000 Isis 875793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!
