NIH Expertise

Great science is not enough to land NIH grants—you must also master grantsmanship skills. My experience at NIH as both a bench scientist and staff writer greatly informs my approach to NIH grantwriting.

"The National Organization of Research Development Professionals (NORDP) peer reviewer program (PEERD) visited ASU to evaluate our research development support. Faculty are specifically calling out Meg’s subscription as an asset."

- Faye Farmer, Executive Director of Research Development, Arizona State University
“Meg, looking forward to working with you again. The first grant we worked together on did really well! They actually specifically complimented the packaging and presentation. We went below the funding line on our first try (even without the ESI bonus), which means the R01 will be converted to an R37 award (2 extra years of funding). So it really could not have gone better.”

- Anonymous MD PhD, R37 (MIRA) recipient, Cancer Biology & Genetics, Top-Tier Medical Center (Editing & Advising)
“Thanks for a great webinar series. I revised the specific aims for my upcoming submission based on some of the great pointers I picked up in the aims webinar. I have already tweeted about the webinars and will also pass it along via word of mouth.”

- David E. Conroy, Ph.D., Professor, Preventive Medicine, Deputy Director, Division of Behavioral Medicine & Center for Behavior and Health, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University
“This [webinar on Choosing Between R01, R21, and R03] was excellent, which I am sure you hear all the time. Even though I have done NSF applications for 15 years, this was wonderful knowledge for NIH that I needed (and in my humble opinion all newer grantees need).”

- Dr. Jorja Kimball, Executive Director of Division of Research, Texas A&M University
“I thoroughly enjoyed your webinar on NIH Submission Strategies. It was one of the most substantive and thoughtfully organized webinars I have ever experienced. I will certainly recommend your offerings to colleagues.”

- Mary Elizabeth Strunk, Assistant Director of Foundation and Corporate Relations, Amherst College
