How is GRIT Different?
Unlike many grant writing groups, our program offers four months of highly structured weekly activities focused on specific steps in your grant application process. From NIH Specific Aims and Biosketches to training and budget plans, our cohort program will provide invaluable guidance and keep you on track to meet your submission deadline. Our structured and tailored timeline includes the following steps:
- CCTS Nascent Project Panel
- Specific Aims Workshop
- Biosketch Workshop
- BERD+ Consultation
- Weekly Intensive Sessions Focused on Specific Grant Sections
- CCTS Panels Done Quickly (twice)
- Scientific Editing
- SCOR Logo V6.2
- Graphic Development
How to apply?
CCTS and SCOR welcome all students, trainees, postdocs, and early stage career faculty who are committed to dedicating weekly time and energy to apply to a cohort. Once accepted, applicants must secure $3500 in funding to match the CCTS investment, which underwrites scientific editing and graphic design services, event costs, one-on-one coaching, and the latest edition of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook.
