Abstract
New or potential investigators with good research ideas often fail to take even the first step in exploring or implementing them. This usually happens when the required resources do not appear to be available. Young investigators and even mature clinicians with strong track records in teaching and service become unduly discouraged at the thought of writing a study protocol, submitting to peer appraisal, and overcoming all the real and imaginary hurdles associated with the preparation of grant applications.
