Testimonials
The grant pacing workshop was one of the many helpful resources I used to eventually get my K.

~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant

Highly recommend for anyone, even if you’ve submitted grants before—the timeline is a particular technique that I will continue to use in my career going forward!

~ Grant Pacing Workshop Participant

Breaking everything down into smaller pieces is really useful.
