Program Commencement – Grant Writing Mentoring Program

 

The 2021 Grant Writing Mentoring program, hosted by the NSU Grant Writing Lab and Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine has launched with a cohort of 13 Mentees and 13 Mentors spanning ten NSU colleges. The program supports early-stage researchers by pairing them with established researchers with the aim of writing and submitting a grant application by the end of the program period. The overarching goal is to increase the capacity (i.e., knowledge and skills) of NSU researchers early in their careers to find, apply for, and be competitive to receive grant support for their research. This goal will be accomplished through an approximately year-long program that features one-on-one meetings between mentees and their mentors, check-ins with the program’s Advisory Committee, and utilization of NSU’s grantsmanship trainings and resources. Participation in this program will allow mentees access to external grant review of their proposals as well as equip them with their own grant writing handbook.
