My revised R01 application had a great critique and scored in [the] 16.5 percentile (NIDCR) as a new investigator; I just found out a week ago that it will be awarded very soon.

I am sure while you are reading this, you are already making positive changes in many Assistant Professors’ lives. my only suggestion to those who are beginning your program is to follow the guidelines in the Workbook, listen to you very carefully and learn from the feedback you provide.

It has been accepted for funding! This is the first competitive grant I have been awarded outside of private industry funding. I really appreciate your help pulling it together. I fully recognize your candid comments are a large reason the proposal was ultimately successful.\"\r\n - Assistant Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\"I am happy to report that I got my first NIH grant!!! I took the Grant Writers' Seminars & Workshops [program] a few years back in Virginia Beach. I am now a postdoc at the University of Colorado and yesterday was awarded an NIDDK F32 grant to examine how maternal obesity impacts the development of the infant microbiome and infant adiposity during the first year of life. The workshop and [The Grant Application] Writer's Workbook were invaluable in writing the grant proposal and going through the grant process! Thanks to [the presenter] and to the GWSW team!\"\r\n - Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Colorado<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\"I attended a grant workshop [of yours] at WSU last year. I wanted to say thank you for all the work and advice in the workshop. I have received many comments about how my grant writing has improved since attending the workshop. Also, following the guidelines of the Workbook has allowed me to better understand (and \"sell\") the significance of my own work. I'll be submitting my first NIH grant this summer, and thanks to your workshop, I feel knowledgeable and informed about the whole process. Thanks for all the materials, and thanks for all you do!\r\n - Assistant Professor, Washington State University<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\"I would like to share some good news with you as you are an equal partner of this success. I met you... at the University of Nebraska Medical Center workshop that you led. Although my application [had previously been] unscored, you said ... it was worth pursuing. I followed your guidance and advice as 'ten commandments', word by word. My revised R01 application had a great critique and scored in [the] 16.5 percentile (NIDCR) as a new investigator; I just found out a week ago that it will be awarded very soon. Now I can claim to be one of your success stories out of thousands around the nation. Please accept my 'hats-off' thanks for your help.\"\r\n - Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\"I have the pleasure of sending you an email and letting you know that all your hard work paid off... I have made it!!! I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. If it wasn't for you and your excellent workshop, I would still be struggling not knowing how to submit a successful grant application. I am sure while you are reading this, you are already making positive changes in many Assistant Professors' lives. my only suggestion to those who are beginning your program is to follow the guidelines in the Workbook, listen to you very carefully and learn from the feedback you provide. I will never forget you for what you have done for me. Thank you for touching the lives of many.\"\r\n - Assistant Professor, Mississippi State University<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\"I received the R03 grant we worked on together last year. That's two for two. I owe you another beer!\"\r\n - Associate Professor, Oregon State University<\/strong><\/em><\/p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/1\"][vc_raw_js]JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTNFJTBBalF1ZXJ5JTI4ZG9jdW1lbnQlMjkucmVhZHklMjhmdW5jdGlvbiUyOCUyNCUyOSU3QiUwQSUyNCUyOCUyNy50ZXN0aW1vbmlhbC1jb250YWluZXIlMjBwJTVCc3R5bGUlM0QlMjJ0ZXh0LWFsaWduJTNBJTIwcmlnaHQlM0IlMjIlNUQlMjclMjkuY3NzJTI4JTI3bWFyZ2luLWJvdHRvbSUyNyUyQyUyNzEwcHglMjclMjklM0IlMEElN0QlMjklM0IlMEElM0MlMkZzY3JpcHQlM0U=[\/vc_raw_js][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
