Grant Proposal Due Soon?

I hear it over and over again. Pulling all that information together and getting collaborators and staff to get you what you need on time - it’s tough!

You want to take action and make this the summer of winning proposals, but you feel stuck. You may be thinking:

  • How can I carve out more time?

  • Is this idea good enough?

  • How can my proposal get a higher score?

  • Am I collaborating with the right people?

  • Is it really possible for me to meet this deadline?

I Can Help.

I’ve helped dozens of investigators align their time and effort to prioritize proposal writing and get FUNDED! Ready to join the club?…

Why work with me?

As a professor at the Paul Merage School of Business, team facilitator, and certified coach, my passion lies in helping investigators like you unlock their full potential. My goal is to guide you toward aligning your priorities, enhancing your work relationships, and enabling you to drive deliverables - like a top-notch proposal- to achieve remarkable results.

Throughout my career, I have been honored with prestigious accolades for teaching, mentoring, and community-building. These achievements reflect my commitment to delivering cutting-edge curriculum and custom solutions that profoundly impact business and society.

But what I am most proud of is having worked closely with talented scientists to crystallize their proposal ideas and generate management plans and proposals that get funded. Seeing ideas become projects that uncover solutions and cures matters most to me, and I can’t wait to work with you to help you make a difference.

The 60-day Proposal Prep Challenge Will Help You:

  • Wisdom helps us make better decisions and navigate challenges with greater understanding. It is gained through learning from mistakes, setbacks, and moments of growth. By reflecting on your weekly commitments and identifying places where we could temporarily steal back time, we will clear the path for you to draft the kind of proposal that provides you and your lab security and resources.

  • Use the knowledge, understanding, and awareness you've gained to shape your next project. We will hone in on some of the ideas you've been thinking about but haven't had the time to explore further. I'll provide a process that will help you narrow in on the most innovative ideas that will be sure to be of interest to the reviewers.

  • Plan your project aims, explore new collaborations, or consider drawing on different methodologies. Embrace new approaches by engaging in a search process to identify new collaborators and resources that will give your proposal a novel edge.

  • Preparing for submission requires the skill of driving project deliverables. Setting aside time for writing, delegating to others, and enlisting editors, statisticians, and others to help is key. To achieve professional growth, proactively take the initiative to set yourself and your team up for success. I can help!

  • Developing an integrated research plan, especially when drawing together different investigators, sites, and data, means creating a narrative and management plan that is cohesive and consistent. I'll help you think through how to create a proposal that demonstrates you are ready for success.
