How to be an ethical grant writer http://www.ehow.com/how_6031987_ethical-grant-writer.html

If Emory was to create a self service process which would service the needs of PI in their creation of grants, could the repository be used in ways in which it was not suppose to? For instance, could individuals just go and copy/past past submitted grant proposal information, even with the best intentions, to get a grant in which the deadline is coming soon.

Citations would likely link to previous Emory grants and the process of getting grants would move in the process of not quality proposals but rather ones which catch the largest funds, greatest duration of time, best ROI. How does this likely contribute to the end result of improving health and would this be a metric even used in the evaluation of grants.

Because if the grant only affects or contributes to few numbers of people, the resultant benefit is less than one which would affect larger numbers but may not pay as well.

Automated systems could also be used to create forged signatures and others could use them to make editations, vs paper based turn it in once systems, which are more closed and controlled.
