National Day is coming. Do your friends have any travel plans? I put my finger up and calculated. According to the past situation, the 20 15 national study abroad fund will be issued soon. Since last year, the official invitation letter from foreign tour guides has become a necessary condition for public schools to study abroad. So friends who have plans to go abroad should start preparing! To this end, I have compiled some comments from netizens on how to successfully obtain the offer for studying abroad, hoping to bring some help to my friends!

@ Yang Xu in the Wind:

I received the annual support from CSC (National Scholarship Fund Committee) on 201-2013. Let me briefly summarize my experience in applying for an offer:

1. Before going abroad, I was a novice in scientific research. At that time, I only had a small clinical SCI article and several Chinese core articles, so I had to apply for an offer by my own efforts.

2. I don't care about the research direction and field, but I am interested in the signal transduction pathway, and I look forward to having some solid scientific research foundation and cutting-edge ideas to study abroad.

3. Vote widely for resumes. The first choice is American universities and research institutes, starting from NIH (National Institutes of Health) and MD Anderson (Maryland Anderson Cancer Center) and going all the way to Harvard University. Look for the ones you might be interested in one by one according to PI or the laboratory catalogue on the school homepage. There are about110 replies during the period, and only one out of every five replies will be accepted.

It should be noted that the letter must have targeted content and try not to make people feel like handing out leaflets.

4. Later, I chatted with foreign directors. It is said that they really value the quality of the articles in their resumes, which is the most telling. Other previous scientific research experience and skills are just for reference.

If we are not strong enough, but really want to go out and learn something, we must clearly state in the letter that we are funded by the China government, and we used to study or engage in scientific research, so that they can understand what is going on with us and relieve their worries. This is very important.

@yhp8308:

I was sponsored by CSC 20 12, and I got the offer after many twists and turns.

Introduce yourself briefly. I am a third-class first-class hospital in a backward area in China, so the hospital is not famous. Undergraduate and master students are studying in our school, and doctors are gilded in famous domestic schools. There are only 3 SCI articles, and the score is not high. So, when I started getting funding, I was a little excited.

Let me talk about several channels for applying for an offer:

1. The boss or brother/sister recommended it. This is often the simplest, but the premise is that there must be resources in this area and everyone can make extensive contacts.

2. greetings from the academic conference. Especially in many international conferences, there are many foreign experts and scholars. At this time, we should seize the opportunity, ask a few more questions and spark. Contact by email after the meeting may get some good recommendation opportunities.

3. Search the school website/postdoctoral website. That's how I found my present boss. At the same time, it should be noted that if you see that a laboratory has been recruiting postdocs, one potential situation is that you can't keep anyone. Therefore, everyone should know the reputation of the laboratory owner in advance to avoid straying into the wolf's den.
