NIH GRANTWRITING
Great science is not enough to land NIH grants—you must also master grantsmanship skills. Dr. Bouvier’s experience as an NIH bench scientist and staff writer make her company uniquely qualified to advise you on NIH submissions.
HIGHLIGHTED SUCCESSES
Seven-year Cooperative Agreement from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The team, working at four medical centers, will conduct clinical trials on novel treatments for critically ill patients as part of a highly prestigious, multidisciplinary clinical research consortium at NIH. While the size of the award will depend on the clinical protocols chosen, a typical seven-year clinical trial award runs in the tens of millions of dollars. Dr. Bouvier was the lead writer, editor, and advisor on the U01 submission team from Meg Bouvier Medical Writing.
Please read Dr. Bouvier’s comments on grantsmanship in an October 2013 article in Nature. It includes comments from scientists and funding agency administrators from numerous scientific fields and countries. Dr. Bouvier was the only professional grantwriter invited to participate. Nature is one of the most widely cited journals in science worldwide.
Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR) providing biospecimen processing services for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (National Cancer Institute). The contract was the sole award. Dr. Bouvier served as lead writer on the contract proposal development team at ITECS Innovative Consulting. TCGA is a signature program of the NIH. The goal of the project is to catalog genetic mutations responsible for cancer using genome sequencing and bioinformatics.
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 2010 Infrastructure to Expand Access to Care, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Sole award, largest construction grant in university history. The recipients will construct an innovative cancer hospital that integrates teaching, research, and clinical care on each floor. Dr. Bouvier served as lead writer on the application development team at ITECS Innovative Consulting.
“I have never had a grant application go in this early or this strong in my experience. THANK YOU!!!”
