Questions to consider

[add in case study from a/s!]

The words below are direct quotes, taken from "Writing Successful Science Proposals" by Andrew J. Friedland and Carol L. Folt

You have developed a set of hypotheses to test in a system you know quite well. You present your ideas at an informal department gathering. A colleague brings to your attention a particular paper that describes an appropriate method. What should you do? If you use the method in an eventual proposal design or a published paper, what does you your colleague expect in the way of recognition?
Now, consider a situation in which the methodology needed for conducting a test does not exist or requires a method being developed by a colleague. ... suppose the colleague [makes a suggestion or develops something that you need]. What should you do? If ... you use the method [your colleague] develops, [how should you recognize her]?
Finally, consider a situation in which you develop a series of ideas on how to test your hypotheses as a result of a number of late-night and hallway chats held over weeks or months with a particular colleague. What if your colleague's perception of how much help you received differs from yours? In this scenario, a misunderstanding may easily occur. What should you do?
