Testimonials
Thank you so much for sending me this information. It is very helpful!

~ Cutting Edge Newsletter

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.
