Tips
• Eksplorasi gap pada project riset sebelumnya untuk kemudian diolah jadi proposal.
• Kontekstualisasikan topik yang dipilih dengan kasus serupa yang ada di Jepang.
• Pilih topik yang simple tapi belum pernah/tidak ada dalam list penerima grant.
• Topik riset berupa comparative study Indonesia dan Jepang (sesuai tujuan grant).
• Jejaring kerja (networks) untuk membentuk tim (kolega di site riset dan di jepang).
• Kepakaran dan etos kerja: multi-disiplin, pembagian tugas (substansi, kontak person, keuangan, administrasi persuratan).
• Assertive dan inisiatif, tidak saling tunggu.
• Read the instructions.
• Tulis proposal jauh sebelum tanggal submission. The power of “kepepet” is not always good.
• Surat Rekomendasi dari dosen/prof. pembimbing S2/S3.
• Selalu peer review setiap progress pembuatan proposal. Baik oleh anggota tim, maupun dari pihak luar tim.
• Selalu cek email terdaftar.
• Berdoa untuk yang terbaik.
• Proposal tidak lolos bukan berarti jelek, bisa diolah lagi untuk grant lainnya.
