Request Your Clarity Call

Get off the treadmill and learn the science and art of writing persuasive proposals

WHY?

You’re a researcher with passion and dedication. But sometimes, navigating the maze of grant rejections, resubmissions and time spent on proposals can be exhausting. We get it. Through 13 years of working with clients on getting their proposals funded, we’ve developed the expertise to help you uncover the roadmap to funding success.

WHAT?

The Grant Foundry is a small, hands-on, group-mentored, intensive course designed to help you write your best proposal. Learn the strategies and writing frameworks used by successful grant writers, then apply these directly to your proposal, and get feedback along the way from expert academic coaches.

In the competitive NIH and NSF grant space, the bar for standing out from the crowd is high. It’s become more important than ever to have absolute clarity about what problem your work solves for your community - and be able to communicate this effectively to your reviewer. Grant Foundry provides a clear system to help you achieve that absolute clarity, along with strong writing and a focused message. If you are tired of constantly writing, tweaking and resubmitting failed proposals, maybe it’s time to really get this “grant writing” thing down. The next round of Grant Foundry runs November 2023 - January 2024.
