Tell me about your experience in grant writing and fundraising for clinical research.

"I am proud to say that I have been involved in eight different grant proposals through my career. The majority of my experience has been geared towards government-related grants. Also, through university, I worked as a grant writing assistant which proved to be a very valuable experience."

Have you ever written a grant proposal? If you have, you can discuss the positive outcome of any grant proposals with which you have been involved.

If you have not written a grant proposal, perhaps you have assisted in raising funds. You can also draw on any training you may have received on grant writing while attending post-secondary education.

Whatever your exposure may be, the interviewer wants to be assured that you have strong persuasive writing skills.

"I am experienced in grant writing and would be more than happy to take on grant proposal tasks in this role. In 2015 I wrote a grant proposal for 'Project A,' and it was a tremendous learning opportunity for me. The grant was awarded, and it was a major highlight in my career."
