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
Please express my gratitude to the Edge Reviewers for their time and feedback on my grant. I took their feedback to heart and am proud of the R01 I ultimately submitted after getting some help from a mentor incorporating their comments.
