After a series of emergencies and other tasks that just couldn’t wait, you now realize that there are only 6 weeks left until the June NIH grant deadline. You meant to get a couple of manuscripts out before you submitted, but those will have to wait. It’s going to be an all hands-on-deck push to the finish. The stress of the process is now compounded by your tight timeline.   We all recognize this scenario. Some of us are in it right now! Worse, we realize that high stress and rapidly approaching deadlines aren’t how we do our best work.   At Grant Foundry LLC we are here to help!   Need support to get those manuscripts edited, while you work on the grant?   No problem! We can step in at any stage of the writing process (e.g., helping to shape the narrative, proof reading supporting information, final edits before submission, etc.).   Perhaps your grant itself is the issue.   We can help you get words on paper, amplify the innovative aspects and impact of your work, or provide text for supporting documentation.   Wherever you need help, Grant Foundry LLC is here to meet your needs. Please reach out through LinkedIn or email at carolyn@thegrantfoundry.com to set up a free consultation to see how Grant Foundry LLC can support your grant and manuscript goals, while preserving your sanity!

Good news, grantwriting is not about getting it ‘right’! A client of mine was working on a NIH K grant and started the session saying she felt overwhelmed. She had to rework the significance section and she felt stuck on writing Aim 1. ‘Am I doing this right?’ was on a loop in her mind. As a result, she was easily distracted, not getting much writing done, and believing she wouldn't be able to finish the grant. What if the goal wasn't to get it right? Here me out: we perfectionists think we need to get it right, so we slow down because we don't like how the messy middle feels. But the messy middle is necessary to get to a final product. In that call, I helped my client see that her next step was to write now and revise later. Let it be messy until it isn't. She was able to use that as a reminder and get more done each day while getting plenty of rest and exercise. She submitted the K grant on time too!! In Make Internal Shifts, I help my clients get grants. This example is how I support them when it gets overwhelming. Overwhelm shows up in a lot of ways. And my framework addresses all of them. Even yours. Beyond overwhelm, I help my clients with the entire process from idea to submission. We work on: - Pacing the work over months so you have contingencies for illness and room for vacation - Writing logical and compelling research so you appeal to reviewers - Assembling a support system so you can minimize blind spots and strengthen the quality of your proposal If you are a woman in academic research who wants a grant in 2025 and seeking help in making it happen, DM me and we can connect on how I can help you.

Resubmitting your R01 can feel discouraging, but does it need to be? With a focused strategy, you can turn your scored application into a funded one. Here are three key steps to guide you: 1️⃣ Deep Dive into Your Summary Statement by reviewing each critique thoroughly. Whether you agree or disagree, use this analysis to create a clear and actionable plan. 2️⃣ Enhance The Scientific Merit of your proposal by addressing all critiques related to your approach. If you agree with a critique, make the necessary changes. If you disagree with a critique, find ways to justify your approach. Consider postponing your resubmission to the next cycle if doing a thorough job will take a long time (it’s worth it). 3️⃣ Focus on Grantsmanship by ensuring your proposal is compelling and well-justified. Highlight key aspects that generate excitement and align with reviewers’ expectations. Take your R01 resubmission to the next level with our Strategic Grant Review. https://lnkd.in/gx863Vvt #NIHFunded #R01Grants #NIHGrants #AcademicResearchers #HealthResearch #WomenInAcademia #NIH #ResearchGrants
