The Biostatistics & Bioinformatics section will hold a lunchtime session discussing surviving grants.

Grant writing brings special challenges for statisticians; navigating collaborative dynamics, justifying a funded position within project teams, and presenting an atypical pictures of leadership when compared to clinical and epidemiological applicants. In this virtual lunchtime session two experienced analysts will share practical insights on a wide range of grant schemes, discuss some challenges particular to biostatisticians and bioinformaticians, and reflect on the extent to which we can continue to meaningfully refer to a 'grant season'.  


Sabine Braat:  Collaborative Grants
   

Sabine is a biostatistician with a focus on clinical trials. Sabine has over 15 years’ experience working as a statistician in the pharmaceutical industry where she contributed to the design, analysis and reporting of clinical trials ranging from the early clinical phases to post-marketing in a range of medical areas. She joined academia in 2015 and has a wealth of experience in the NHMRC and MRFF grant schemes. Sabine is an Accredited Statistician (AStat) by the Statistical Society of Australia (SSA) and vice-chair of the executive committee of the Australian Clinical Trials Alliance Statistics in Trials Interest Group (ACTA STInG).


Feargal Ryan: Individual/Investigator Grants


  Feargal is a NHMRC-funded investigator in the Computational & Systems Biology Program at SAHMRI and holds an appointment in the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University. Feargal’s research combines microbiology, bioinformatics, and systems immunology to understand how host-microbe interactions shape health in the fields of gut microbiome, infection (COVID-19, ZIKV) and cancer. In addition to this research, Feargal aims to support and promote upcoming researchers in his field. To this end he is the postdoc rep of the Australian Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Society (ABACBS), as well as sitting on the committees for the SAHMRI early- and mid- career researcher working group, and Epigenetics Consortium of South Australia (EpiCSA).
