You spent weeks slaving over that proposal, and sent it in thinking it was going to pay off this time – only to get it back with an unfundable score. I’ve been there, and it is not my idea of fun.

My name is Morgan Giddings, and I went through four grant rejections in a row after I started as an assistant professor at UNC Chapel Hill.

After that, I vowed to do better. I sought out every resource I could find. And I finally found someone who knew how to help.

After a long and somewhat painful process, I turned my grant writing around – from four rejections, to my last four R01′s funded in a row (three on the first round of submission).

And now I’ve decided to share that knowledge with you, in an in-depth online course that you can access at any time, day or night (starting immediately when you sign up).

This approach is not just some gimmick or trick to play on a reviewer (that wouldn’t work – we’re all smart folks here, and a lot of us are reviewers).

Rather, it is a fundamental shift in thinking and approach to improve both the writing and the planning of your science so that it is more exciting both to you, and your reviewers.

Here’s what you get in the course:

• 12 core modules, each with a practical lesson in video, audio, and written format that you can watch on your computer or download to your mp3 player. Each lesson is accompanied by a worksheet that helps you strategize your proposal
• A 12-page NIH grant template that helps you rapidly implement the strategies from the course rapidly and efficiently. For example, one of the lessons covers a key thing that you must do in every proposal, that most people aren’t even aware they are doing (but when they become aware, they do it more effectively). Overall, you’ll learn a direct, problem-oriented, practical approach to getting your grants funded more efficiently.
• In depth interviews with five other experts on grant writing and reviewing, including Marshall Edgell, Adrienne Cox, Susan Weiss, Beth Schachter, and Wei Wang. We cover topics including: how to deal with the new 12 page NIH format, how to make your reviewers happy, the importance of “romance” in your proposal, and how to focus on solving problems rather than testing hypotheses.
• Several surprise bonuses that I’ve added and continue to add..

Imagine for your next grant proposal, as you’re getting ready to write it, queuing up some lessons on your iPhone that you listen to on your commute home, which get you inspired so that you readily crank out a funded proposal.

Or imagine the other alternative – struggling with the question of “how do I write this proposal to be convincing?” and not knowing the answer. I’ve been there, and not knowing is frustrating indeed.

My goal is to save you that frustration and angst, so that you can get your next (and all future) grant proposal(s) funded without struggle or questioning.

Using these approaches, I know that when I submit a grant proposal, it has a clear, logical plan. Whether or not it gets funded (and it usually does), I can feel good about making a positive impression on reviewers.

However, I want to be clear about one thing. A great proposal starts with doing great science. They go hand in hand. If you’re not doing great science (or at least wanting to propose to do great science), then the course won’t help you.

And if you’re unwilling to do the work of listening to the lessons and filling out the worksheets, you aren’t going to gain maximal benefit, either. This approach is not about “get grants quick with no effort.” You must absolutely expend effort to write a great grant proposal (i.e. a fundable grant proposal). But, with this approach, you can do so more efficiently, with less rounds of revision and resubmission.

In the long term, it will save you 100′s of hours and 1,000′s of dollars of your time.

I know how it is to come across a site on the internet promising untold riches. You wonder to yourself – “is it the real deal?”

If you wonder about this, just have a look at my track record. I’m not here to sell some kind of “get rich quick” snake oil.

This is precious, closely guarded knowledge, that took me years “in the school of hard knocks”. And on top of that, it has taken me hundreds of hours to assemble it into a course. It may not help you “get rich” — except for in the sense of getting your science funded with reduced hassles.

The Grant Dynamo is guaranteed to help you generate more funded grant proposals

Here’s what some of your colleagues have to say about it:

I know that you know things aren’t getting any easier. Grant pay lines at NIH and NSF are nearing all time lows. And after the ARRA “stimulus” wears off, it is going to be even harder. Worse, the old approaches aren’t working anymore.

If you want to be successful and stay ahead of the competition, you need to invest in yourself and your skillset. That’s a key to success I’ve learned by modeling other successful people. Investing in yourself and your knowledge is the best investment you can make.

So, when you’re considering this investment, I hope that you consider how much lifetime payoff it will have for you if you enhance your grantwriting skillset. For me, it has paid off immeasurably.

I look forward to seeing you in the course.

ps – Getting grants rejected is a waste of time for everyone – both writer and reviewer alike. If you want to reduce the wasted time, take action now to enhance your mental toolbox for effective grant writing

pss – I’m only releasing 500 copies of the course – ever. The knowledge is too valuable to share beyond that.
