The decision-making tools and myriad resources in the Writing Club Roadmap together with your selection of our NIH grantwriting courses — plus member benefits like Bootcamps and live Q & A — will allow a facilitator to design and run an effective writing club with minimal effort. Let us help you design a writing club that is as smooth and impactful as the one you would have designed after 20 years of experience!
The Writing Club Bundle
A modular course bundle that combines a robust planning tool for the club facilitator with one or more courses for club participants.
This customizable bundle consists of two parts:
1. The Writing Club Roadmap
A first-of-its kind program that represents almost 20 years of Dr. Bouvier's experience running many different types of NIH writing clubs. The roadmap is not for applicants; we developed it for administrators and writing club facilitators. The Writing Club Roadmap is a planning tool with tasks built around timelines to help a facilitator launch a robust and successful writing club. It is packed with templates, tools, and tips to ensure that your writing club is a success from the get-go.
2. Your selection of NIH grantwriting courses
We offer an array of courses and NIH expertise that is unprecedented in the industry. Base the content of your new club on one of our writing courses, such as Master the R Series or Master the K (and F) Series. Supplement this material with other grantsmanship courses, such as The Human Subjects Form and The Four Rigor Scoring Criteria. Whatever topic you want to cover, we have a quality, up-to-date course that will do the work for you.
This bundle ultimately:
Gives research administrators a repeatable and proven process for designing and hosting writing clubs
Lowers the lift for administrators, facilitators, and mentors
Reduces reliance on external consultants
Ensures an impactful writing club right from the launch
