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.

“Your Demystifying the 2016 Changes to NIH Grant Submissions was excellently presented and full of logical, useful information. Thank you!”

- Dr. John Ivy, Senior Research Development Officer, Texas A&M University
“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

RECENT CHANGES TO NIH CLINICAL TRIALS

HOW TO WRITE THE APPROACH WITH PROJECT DETAILS NOW IN THE NEW FORM

I explain the many clinical trial changes implemented in 2018, notably the introduction of the Human Subjects & Clinical Trial Info Form. I will help you understand what goes in the Form versus the Approach section—and how to make the Approach sound cohesive and compelling without all those project details.

Why Dr. Bouvier?

I focus on improved grantsmanship skills for all submissions going forward resulting in better grantee, mentor, and reviewer.

ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS

For about the cost of a single lab reagent, a grantee can enjoy unlimited access to all virtual trainings, live or recorded, for one full year!

Administrators enjoy steep savings when they purchase an annual institutional subscription —which provides access for everyone on campus, including students and post-docs.

My goal is not to improve a single submission, but to improve my client’s grantsmanship skill on all submissions going forward. It makes my client a better grantee, mentor, and reviewer, and ensures the research the best chance of success.
