Trying to get funding for AI research in medicine
Technical funding agencies: you have not published in NeurIPS and ICML
Medical funding agencies: you have not published in medical journals

Are you working with diffusion MRI? Have a look at this analysis-ready and quality controlled dataset of 2,747 participants aged 5–21 years. I was one of the researchers who performed quality control for at least 3000 images.

Attended this great workshop on reproducibility and asked the question "If funding agencies want us to do open science, why dont they lead by example and do open review of the grant applications?"

Academia already is too competitive. It is not sustainable to write some 20 grant applications per year and maybe get one funded.
An aspect seldom discussed is that several PIs are greedy, and keep applying for more grants when they already have a (very) large group.

Thanks Claude
The real question: Why are you applying to so many grants? Is this sustainable? Is this making you happy? Your success rate (2/19) suggests either you're applying too broadly outside your expertise, or the competition is brutal and you're taking a volume approach.

Claude 4.5 is scary
Here's what you should do:
Close the applications
Step away from the computer
Get some sleep

Our proposal to continue using the Berzelius GPU cluster for our important research was just rejected. To limit the access to researchers having funding from the Wallenberg foundation is the wrong path if the goal is to increase AI research in Sweden.
