I'm currently a research technician in a hematology/oncology lab at a research hospital, and I have a question specifically about the research proposal. As a research technician, I work closely with an MD/PhD fellow and a graduate student on two separate projects. I'm especially interested in the project I'm in the midst of with the grad student. I'm trying to be as original as possible with my proposal, but would it be fine to have one of my aims be finishing up the project we're currently working on? I would need to build off of this part of the project in order to carry out any other aims, since we are trying to establish a model of a specific disease. To what extent is the proposal just an exercise in grant writing?
