Testimonials
The project management strategy of backing out the timeline and including specific dates for completion of tasks works well.

~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant

The grant pacing workshop was one of the many helpful resources I used to eventually get my K.

~ 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.
