The grant pacing workshop was one of the many helpful resources I used to eventually get my K.
~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant
I cannot recommend The Fellowship Grant Pacing Workshop highly enough. From navigating the FOA, to breaking down the application into its individual components, to planning a schedule to keep myself on track while still allowing flexibility, the skills and knowledge I acquired in this workshop were instrumental in helping me submit a successful fellowship grant application.

The Manuscript Sprint was a great program that helped me write up a manuscript for a longstanding project. Over 6 weeks I wrote a full draft of the paper and got lots of helpful feedback from the other participants.
