Testimonials
Thank you so much for sending me this information. It is very helpful!
~ Cutting Edge Newsletter
As a new investigator with a K award, it's hard to get a grasp on all the pieces involved in submitting your first R01 proposal. The workshop really helped me get a handle on the scale and scope of this task, as well as resources available within Vanderbilt to help me as I go through the process.”
~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant
This is a total fan letter. The newsletter is absolutely fabulous! I almost always end up forwarding it to colleagues or to my former PhD students who are now early in faculty positions and a couple early career faculty I mentor at other universities. I have also used some articles for my Prosem 1 class for entering doc students. The articles are great, innovative and accurate ( in my experience). Thank you so much for putting these newsletters and articles together! Keep them coming! Hope you are getting lots of KUDOS!
