We get it. The deluge of news coming out of NIH has been an emotional roller coaster lately. You need clear information from an NIH expert on how to submit a competitive NIH application right now. You need timely advising not just on the typical myriad questions about applications, but also on the ever-changing policy changes.
What if you had a direct line to that expertise three times per month?
The NIH Live Q&A Membership is a new, affordable program designed for biomedical researchers who want ongoing support and direct access to grantwriting experts. It’s your home for expert advice, support, and the confidence you need to write a winning submission.
Join us on Zoom every other week for a 60-minute session featuring mini-tutorials on critical topics, interviews with subject matter experts, and live Q&A to answer your most pressing questions. Alternating Wednesdays at 3pm ET.
Get 1:1 feedback directly from Dr. Meg Bouvier during virtual office hours on the first Friday of every month. In this intimate group call, you can ask Meg your questions directly and get personal guidance. First Friday of every month at 11:30am ET.

The grantwriting journey can be isolating. Connect with other researchers on our live calls who are navigating the same challenges you are.
You want to stay current on the latest NIH strategies and trends directly from the experts.
You have specific grantwriting questions but don't need a full, comprehensive course.
You learn best through interactive, live discussions.
You're an NIH applicant, or support NIH applicants, and have a limited budget.

You've used Bouvier Grant Group's suite of grantwriting tools in the past and you want to maintain a connection to our experts.
This is our cornerstone live event, held every other week. Each session is built to deliver timely, relevant information. We often start with a 15-20 minute mini-tutorial on a specific aspect of grantwriting, like a live R01 Aims page edit or instructions on writing a persuasive rebuttal. On other occasions we’ll feature guest experts, like research administrators or grant reviewers, to share their unique insights. The rest of the hour is dedicated to you, as we open the floor for a live Q&A. Alternating Wednesdays at 3pm ET. Can't make a session? Submit a question in advance, then watch the recording at your leisure to get your answer.
On the first Friday of every month, join Dr. Meg Bouvier for a candid, open-forum Q&A. This is a smaller group setting designed for direct interaction. Bring the challenges you’re facing with your application, and Meg will offer straightforward, expert advice. Think of it as your personal grantwriting mentor, on call every month. First Friday of every month at 11:30am ET.
Your membership is a resource that grows every month. Dive into our extensive library of past AGE sessions anytime. Whether you need a quick refresher on biosketches at 10 PM or want to review a session on resubmissions over the weekend, our searchable database puts the answers right at your fingertips.
