StartR
The Grant Writing Academy is hosting its fourth(!) StartR iteration for faculty planning their first NIH R01 (or similar proposal) next Spring! StartR is based on our award-winning Proposal Bootcamp which increased participants’ abilities to secure funding and grant writing self-efficacy (PLoS One).
Why you should apply:
- Come and get to know new people! You will have the opportunity to meet other faculty members and join a collaborative community of Stanford grant writers like yourself!
- Additionally, we are reserving time for you to write during Time to Write sessions and receive 1:1 coaching from research development strategists during Office Hours.
- Participants will receive a copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook- NIH, a step-by-step guide to writing a compelling NIH grant application.


More Testimonials:
-
“It was such a great opportunity to discuss with professional grant writers about how to best articulate the innovation section. And to have a clearer idea of the difference between the significance and the innovation sections. I also enjoyed meeting other faculty and I hope to keep the connection.”
-
“I really appreciate the opportunity to cultivate a supportive community of other early career investigators at Stanford. Even though my table/ group was diverse with respect to content area, we are provided supportive comments and useful feedback to each other, and we look forward to staying in touch.”
-
“I really like the peer-review format and think that having an interdisciplinary group of people look at my specific aims/significance and innovations statement was eye opening. I hope to stay in touch with my group after StartR. The feedback Q&A sessions with the staff and with successful applicants was really helpful too. I really loved the format and the serene location with lots of time for reflection.
