The following are written comments about the seminar
(on file):
•
 Excellent seminar.
•
 Very practical and comprehensive. I am eager to try implementing these ideals.
•
 Excellent presentation from both sides of the process.
•
 Very well done. I especially appreciate the addition of recent new information, e.g. The NIH video clip showing an example of a review session.
•
 Inside from reviewers point of view was very useful.
•
 Information on review process and the research needed to write a successful grant was very useful (and not found from other sources).
•
 Very timely presentation in preparation for the upcoming grant writing season for my discipline. Very useful for this point in my career. Supplementary material is invaluable, thanks. (Presenter) was an engaging speaker who presented the material at a manageable pace towards maximum comprehension.
•
 I was told this was a full day program that shouldn’t be missed. I learned so much I couldn’t take it all in. The knowledge alone makes it worth spending a day out of the office. (The presenter) is a treasure that all grant writers should discover. Thank you for this opportunity.
• Very clear presentation. Although it was a whole day it didn’t feel like it.
• This seminar was excellent. I’ve never enjoyed a full day seminar this much. The skills taught should be extremely helpful as my career develops.
• This should be part of every graduate school program.
• The handout packets are especially appreciated; they will make a great resource when I’m ready to start this process.
• The speaker was engaging and interesting. He presented the material in a very clear and easy to follow format. Great personal anecdotes. Speaker had tremendous depth of knowledge.
• I found this seminar very interesting, and appreciated description of the application review process in conjunction with the “how to write the application”.
• Wish I had taken this “course” before I wrote my grant!
• This seminar/workshop was very informative (the presenter) was well prepared, he is also an excellent orator, kept the audience very interested. Thanks.
• This was excellent for my “first grant writing “course, I think it could be hard to beat.
• Very polished, professional presentation. Excellent course material. Thanks!

Testimonials


“[The presenter] had a powerful, yet friendly presentation style that is not only hugely informative, but also reassuring that obtaining funding is feasible. His willingness to answer questions at the end of the session on broader topics than just grant writing was a pleasant and appreciated boon to the seminar.”
Wayne State University

“One of the most dynamic and informative seminars I've attended at NIH. Hopefully there can be an increase in similar seminars in the future to accommodate all those who wish to attend. I would highly recommend this seminar to all.”
National Institutes of Health

“This has been fabulous! It's definitely been worth the time. The timing has been good for me, too, as I'm just now writing my full PhD proposal. I will be editing it this weekend with [the presenter's] tips and recommendations in mind!”
