Applying for research grants is a crucial step in academic advancement and often serves as an important bridge for translating research into tangible outcomes. In the academic journey, the success or failure of a grant proposal directly affects research progress and career development.
However, during the proposal process, researchers frequently face numerous challenges: lack of innovation in topic selection; difficulty in highlighting research value; unclear proposal logic; weak methodological design; insufficient demonstration of prior research foundation; and lack of targeted application strategies.
