Abstract
An excellent idea for a clinical trial will never get off the ground unless your vision for the importance of the information gained is shared by others who can afford to make your vision a reality. Your passion must be directed at enlisting a patron or patrons who have the resources to pay for your vision. They are willing to do so in the form of a grant if you can show how spending their money can enhance their mission to improve health care for an identifiable segment of the population or for specific disease or specific sufferer. Aligning your needs and their interests is the key beginning for a successful application. Choosing the right agency and applying on time with a well-written application that includes a meticulous protocol are all important elements for success. Getting the money to fund your work is an important accomplishment in its own right but using it effectively is equally important and your key to being funded in the future.
