Testimonials
The grant pacing workshop was one of the many helpful resources I used to eventually get my K.
~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant
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
I submitted my K99 to the NIH yesterday, so I wanted to reach out and thank you all for the excellent suggestions and critiques provided as part of the Edge for Scholars Study Section. I was able to address most of the critiques, and I really think they strengthened my research proposal. The EFS review was a really great opportunity, and I'm so glad I participated. Thank you all for your time and effort in reviewing for this program.
