Course Description

Stay on a grantwriting schedule as we suggest actions and tips, and point out common missteps in a workplan that will pace you to your deadline. You customize the 10 sessions to lead to your deadline, on your schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc). Each session walks you through major stages of the grantwriting process. You will receive curated grantsmanship strategies to match up with your evolving draft. We share highlights from our virtual training courses, and for those who have access to them, we let you know when to watch to get a deeper dive into the material. An interactive checklist helps you track your progress.

You incorporate high level strategy and critical detail...noodging your Co-I’s to get their letters done and returned, noodging them again when they send them unsigned or they just aren’t perfect, even down to celebrating the submission with champagne because getting a great proposal out the door IS an accomplishment regardless of whether it is ultimately funded. Just wanted you to know I am loving this series!
