Obtaining Grant Funding

I really enjoyed Dr. Salas' discussion on obtaining Grant funding. I have never been through this process before so it was nice to hear an explanation of what to expect before hand; it makes the impending process less intimidating. I thought some of his advice was very creative, like trying to publish in the airline magazines. What better way get your name out to a mass audience that would be unlikely to be exposed to your work if it were in an academic journal. It was also nice to hear that even someone as prolific as Dr. Salas gets turned down for funding regularly. I will have to do my best to keep that in mind to keep from getting discouraged when I get turned down.
