      <image:caption>Our mission is to give researchers the systems, strategies, and support they need to write high-impact grants so they can get their research funded and improve the health of individuals and communities. We recognize that there are systemic barriers and biases built into biomedical research. Beyond our commitment to supporting individual scientists, our mission is to contribute to dismantling systemic racism and misogyny in academia and in funding agencies. We enthusiastically endorse the recommendations in the paper Fund Black Scientists (Stevens et al., Cell, 2021).</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - I believe that the key to getting funded is to get your reviewer as excited about your research as you are.</image:title>
      <image:caption>No fake hype, no “selling” your science – you just need to make a genuine connection with your reviewers. That requires empathy…and a little bit of skill to ensure that your research is presented in a clear, compelling, and persuasive package. (But don’t worry – we’ll show you exactly how it’s done.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Departmental Support - Half-day workshop (3 hours) High-Level Strategy Workshop</image:title>
      <image:caption>In our half-day workshop we provide an overview of key success strategies for research grants. Depending on your needs, you may choose from an overview of general grant writing success strategies or focus on high-level strategies for a specific component of an application (e.g., Aims page, Biosketch, Significance section). The half-day workshop format includes 60 minutes of instruction followed by a short break, then participants will have an opportunity to practice implementing their new skill or rhetorical strategy in small breakout groups.  This workshop format can accommodate a maximum of 12 attendees.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Departmental Support - Full-day workshop (6 hours) Aims-in-a-Day Workshop</image:title>
      <image:caption>In our full-day workshop we guide your faculty to write a clear, persuasive draft of a Specific Aims page. We cover the overall strategic approach for the Aims page, as well as the structure for each section of the Aims page. The full-day workshop format includes 45 minutes of instruction followed by a short break. Then we provide instruction for each of the four sections of the Aims page and provide time for participants to prepare a draft of each section. Finally, the instructor will review several of the draft aims pages in front of the group and provide feedback on clarity and persuasiveness. This workshop format can accommodate a maximum of 12 attendees.  Would you like to cover a different topic or offer this workshop to a larger group? Let us know.</image:caption>

      <image:title>All Services - Strategic Grant Review</image:title>
      <image:caption>Inside our high-impact strategic grant review service, we work with you to shape your R01 draft into a highly persuasive grant proposal that gets reviewers excited about the impact of your research. We’ve done this with dozens of proposals across a wide variety of clinical and translational research topics and NIH funding institutes. Since 2018, we’ve helped researchers secure more than $75 million in research funding. Are you ready for a strategic grant review? Click the button below to learn more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>All Services - K to R transition program for women faculty</image:title>
      <image:caption>A successful K to R01 transition is about way more than just learning the mechanics of grant writing. First you need a strong foundation that includes a clear sense of direction for the next stage of your research trajectory, the ability to identify priorities and set appropriate boundaries that will allow you to meet those priorities, and a transition in your self-concept and professional identity from mentee to independent researcher. In this high-performance professional development program for women K Award recipients, we help you build that foundation before you ever start working on the mechanics of how to write a strong R01. The best part? The mechanics are much easier to implement once you have a solid foundation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strategic Grant Review - Fixing your approach isn’t enough to get your NIH ROI funded.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your last R01 submission was close, but not close enough. You need to get a fundable score this time. Maybe you’ve learned some lessons from the critiques in your Summary Statement, but no matter how much you tidy up your Approach section, you’re worried that it’s still not enough. Giving up on this project sounds tempting when it seems like R01 funding is just a game of chance. But the thing is... you need to get this R01 across the pay line—to fund your lab, of course, but—honestly? This is the project that really matters to you. This is the stuff you want to work on.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Strategic Grant Review - Our Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our approach is different because we make sure that your R01 is written as clearly and persuasively as possible, and we take our cues from your Summary Statement so we know that you’re addressing the concerns about scientific and technical merit that your reviewers identified last time around. We know that to get your R01 funded, you need to generate enthusiasm among your reviewers. And you do that by handing them an exciting, airtight application that’s a pleasure to read.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - Getting an R01 means you’ll be able to:</image:title>
      <image:caption>▸ Keep your research program afloat and climb the promotion ladder ▸ Make a real, tangible difference in the world by doing the type of research that will impact healthcare  ▸ Gain legitimacy as a scientist and stop feeling like you have to prove the worth of your work at every step  ▸ Do the research you love and do it well—to truly make an impact you can’t cobble together funding from a handful of smaller grants, you need an R01 ▸ Take a deep breath and know you no longer have to worry about where the money’s going to come from</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - And on top of all that, what an R01 really means is FREEDOM.</image:title>
      <image:caption>▸ The freedom to do the research you want.  ▸ Go to the conferences you want.  ▸ Get the data you want. ▸ Have the team that you want.  An R01 gives you the ability to do your science the way you want to do it.  So that you can make a major contribution to your field.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - I’m Sarah Dobson. I teach early-career researchers how to get funded at NIH.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 2018, my team and I helped my clients bring in over $50 Million in NIH funding.  Before that, I submitted my own grants - and was successfully funded - in research grant competitions with success rates of less than 15%  I’ve taught grant-writing skills online &amp; in-person to more than 3000 researchers.  And I’ve helped my clients submit successful grants across multiple funding agencies, fields of study and specialties—the techniques I teach are area-agnostic and proven to work.  All of which goes to say... I know what it takes to get your reviewers’ attention and persuade them your grant’s worth funding.  And I’m teaching you everything I know inside this step-by-step course. In fact, it’s the exact same course that I use to train my editors—who have an 80% funding success rate on NIH resubmissions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - “Sarah makes you do the work, not the reviewer.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>“So often, the really important information is buried deep in the grant because we don't really know what we're doing, on some level, and it comes out in the grant.  Sarah makes you really think through what you want to do. She makes you do the work, not the reviewer.  Sarah’s training offers a clear, focused approach, and she provides a framework to help you do what you need to do to get the reviewer/reviewers interested in your project.” – PhD, Vanderbilt University</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - “There is no doubt in my mind that Problem, Gap, Hook, Solution works "</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I signed up after a rough slump of many R01 submissions (and resubmission) gone unfunded or undiscussed. After taking your class I submitted two major grants to NIH, and both just got funded (about $10 million total spread over 5 years). There is no doubt in my mind that Problem, Gap, Hook, Solution works (in addition to everything else I learned). I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact that you have made to my career.”  – PhD, Pennington Biomedical Research Center (LSU)</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - The Grant Funding Formula is a practical, step-by-step breakdown of everything that goes into writing a competitive NIH R01 grant.</image:title>
      <image:caption>With fillable templates &amp; video tutorials you can re-watch again and again, so you have clear guidelines to follow every time you write a grant.  Which means, once you’ve cracked The Grant Funding Formula… You can breathe a little easier, knowing that you’ve ticked an important box for tenure, your lab can continue to operate, and you won’t have to make that mid-life career change after all.  You have confirmation that you are not an imposter. That your good ideas are worth pursuing. That the hours, days, months, years you’ve spent designing, performing, and writing about your experiments weren't in vain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - We both know why this process isn’t easy: Nobody taught you how to do this!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Which is BONKERS. Because the ability to get your work funded is critical to your career.  You need this funding to support the people who work in your lab, to make the actual research happen, and to pay your own salary.  The pressure is on. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.  That's why you deserve a program that can teach you both the grant-writing skills and the sustainable writing practices you need to put them to good use.  So that you can efficiently produce an excellent grant your reviewers can’t ignore.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - Trello board templates</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you struggle to find the time to sit down and write, or it's impossible to stick to the schedule you set for yourself… These Trello board templates are going to blow your mind.  (What's Trello? It’s a free project management tool. Imagine you have a virtual white board with each of your tasks on a sticky note, except they won’t blow off if you leave the window open.) With 2 template options to choose from, you can opt to organize your tasks according to the 5 phases of grant writing I describe in Module 2, or go for the week-by-week structure, so you can easily factor in holidays and other engagements. Either way, you’ll be able to track your overall progress, and you’ll always sit down to write knowing exactly what you should be working on—which can sometimes feel like half the battle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - Week by week assignments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Looking at a big scary list of 130 grant-writing To Dos can be intimidating and make it less likely you'll actually get anything done. And without any external structure or accountability, it’s hard to make sure that you’re always moving forwards.  When you sign up for The Grant Funding Formula, not only will your Trello board keep you on track, each lesson also includes a downloadable PDF with assignments for each module.  So you have an instant overview of the tasks related to each lesson, in chronological order, to keep the overwhelm at bay and you on track as you work towards preparing your grant for submission. I know that not giving yourself enough time to write is the #1 reason researchers end up binge-writing &amp; burning out. So by signing up to work on your grant with 16 weeks of step-by-step guidance, you’re guaranteeing yourself a better outcome—both in terms of your finished grant and your mental health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - Grant templates and fillable worksheets for each individual section</image:title>
      <image:caption>Because blank page syndrome is real, I give you 2 editable templates for your overall grant proposal, PLUS fillable worksheets that break the individual sections down into the questions you need to answer.  These templates alone would put you well ahead of the pack when it comes to writing a grant proposal that ticks all the right boxes… But when you combine them with: ► A super solid strategy and early validation of your grant, thanks to your stand-out Specific Aims page ► The clarity that comes with section-by-section video tutorials that tell you exactly what you need to accomplish and how to start ► Writing techniques your reviewers will love because you treat them like a fellow human being, and ► The ability to get the right kind of feedback from the right kind of people, in time to actually help you out... Well, that’s how you turn your new and improved grant-writing skills into an advantage that would feel downright unfair—if it didn’t feel so freakin' good.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - What’s the real risk of not making “writes good grants” one of your core skills?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Look, we both know the system’s broken… …when—just for starters—you can go through over 12 years of higher education without having been taught the one skill that's integral to your ability to get and keep a research-related job.  So the fact that you’re not good at writing grants – yet – is not your fault.  But here we are.  And while we can agitate for change within the system to help those who come next, the immediate truth is that you still need an R01.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - Sure, with enough trial and error you can probably get the balance right. But the problem is…you don’t have time for trial and error.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your days are dominated by helping out everyone but yourself: your patients, your PI, your peers.  There’s always someone else who needs something *urgently*, so you keep pushing your grant writing to “next week”.  Pre-COVID, you were stretched thin.  AND NOW?  Now it feels like there’s hardly any ‘you’ left at the end of the day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - You’re both busy human beings, living busy human lives.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You don’t get to write your grant in a vacuum. So even though your career will barely get started without this funding, it’s hard to take time away from other aspects of your job (like actually doing the research, writing the manuscripts or seeing your patients) because they’re all critical to your success.  You try to stick to a schedule, but with so many different plates spinning in the air, your days get easily derailed—and then there’s the perfectionism that pops up as soon as you try to start putting your thoughts on paper.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - “Sarah makes you do the work, not the reviewer.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>“So often, the really important information is buried deep in the grant because we don't really know what we're doing, on some level, and it comes out in the grant.  Sarah makes you really think through what you want to do. She makes you do the work, not the reviewer.  Sarah’s training offers a clear, focused approach, and she provides a framework to help you do what you need to do to get the reviewer/reviewers interested in your project.” – PhD, Vanderbilt University</image:caption>

After taking your class I submitted two major grants to NIH, and both just got funded (about $10 million total spread over 5 years).

I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact that you have made to my career.”  – PhD, Pennington Biomedical Research Center (LSU)</image:caption>

Which means, once you’ve cracked The Grant Funding Formula… You can breathe a little easier, knowing that your career is on track.  You have confirmation that you are not an imposter. That your good ideas are worth pursuing. That the hours, days, months, years you’ve spent designing, performing, and writing about your experiments weren't in vain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - project management templates</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you struggle to find the time to sit down and write, or it's impossible to stick to the schedule you set for yourself… These Trello board templates are going to blow your mind.  (What's Trello? It’s a free project management tool. Imagine you have a virtual white board with each of your tasks on a sticky note, except they won’t blow off if you leave the window open.) With 2 template options to choose from, you can opt to organize your tasks according to the 5 phases of grant writing I describe in Module 2, or go for the week-by-week structure, so you can easily factor in holidays and other engagements. Either way, you’ll be able to track your overall progress, and you’ll always sit down to write knowing exactly what you should be working on—which can sometimes feel like half the battle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - Week by week assignments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Looking at a big scary list of 130 grant-writing To Dos can be intimidating and make it less likely you'll actually get anything done. And without any external structure or accountability, it’s hard to make sure that you’re always moving forwards.  When you sign up for The Grant Funding Formula, not only will your Trello board keep you on track, each lesson also includes a downloadable PDF with assignments for each module.  So you have an instant overview of the tasks related to each lesson, in chronological order, to keep the overwhelm at bay and you on track as you work towards preparing your grant for submission. I know that not giving yourself enough time to write is the #1 reason researchers end up binge-writing &amp; burning out. So by signing up to work on your grant with 16 weeks of step-by-step guidance, you’re guaranteeing yourself a better outcome—both in terms of your finished grant and your mental health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - Grant templates and fillable worksheets for each individual section</image:title>
      <image:caption>Because blank page syndrome is real, I give you 2 editable templates for your overall grant proposal, PLUS fillable worksheets that break the individual sections down into the questions you need to answer.  These templates alone would put you well ahead of the pack when it comes to writing a grant proposal that ticks all the right boxes… But when you combine them with: ► A super solid strategy and early validation of your grant, thanks to your stand-out Specific Aims page ► The clarity that comes with section-by-section video tutorials that tell you exactly what you need to accomplish and how to start ► Writing techniques your reviewers will love because you treat them like a fellow human being, and ► The ability to get the right kind of feedback from the right kind of people, in time to actually help you out... Well, that’s how you turn your new and improved grant-writing skills into an advantage that would feel downright unfair—if it didn’t feel so freakin' good.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - K Award - What’s the real risk of not making “writes good grants” one of your core skills?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Look, we both know the system’s broken… …when—just for starters—you can go through more than a decade of higher education without having been taught the one skill that's integral to your ability to get and keep a research-related job.  So the fact that you’re not good at writing grants – yet – is not your fault.  But here we are.  While we can agitate for change within the system to help those who come next, the immediate truth is that you still need a K Award.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Forumula - K Award - Sure, with enough trial and error you can probably get the balance right. But the problem is…you don’t have time for trial and error.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your days are dominated by helping out everyone but yourself: your patients, your PI, your peers.  There’s always someone else who needs something *urgently*, so you keep pushing your grant writing to “next week”.  Pre-COVID, you were stretched thin.  AND NOW?  Now it feels like there’s hardly any ‘you’ left at the end of the day.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Forumula - K Award - You’re both busy human beings, living busy human lives.</image:title>
      <image:caption>You don’t get to write your grant in a vacuum. So even though your career will barely get started without this funding, it’s hard to take time away from other aspects of your job (like actually doing the research, writing the manuscripts or seeing your patients) because they’re all critical to your success.  You try to stick to a schedule, but with so many different plates spinning in the air, your days get easily derailed—and then there’s the perfectionism that pops up as soon as you try to start putting your thoughts on paper.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“So often, the really important information is buried deep in the grant because we don't really know what we're doing, on some level, and it comes out in the grant.  Sarah makes you really think through what you want to do. She makes you do the work, not the reviewer.  Sarah’s training offers a clear, focused approach, and she provides a framework to help you do what you need to do to get the reviewer/reviewers interested in your project.” – PhD, Vanderbilt University</image:caption>

After taking your class I submitted two major grants to NIH, and both just got funded (about $10 million total spread over 5 years).

Which means, once you’ve cracked The Grant Funding Formula… You can breathe a little easier, knowing that your career is on track.  You have confirmation that you are not an imposter. That your good ideas are worth pursuing. That the hours, days, months, years you’ve spent designing, performing, and writing about your experiments weren't in vain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Forumula - K Award - Trello board templates</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you struggle to find the time to sit down and write, or it's impossible to stick to the schedule you set for yourself… These Trello board templates are going to blow your mind.  (What's Trello? It’s a free project management tool. Imagine you have a virtual white board with each of your tasks on a sticky note, except they won’t blow off if you leave the window open.) With 2 template options to choose from, you can opt to organize your tasks according to the 5 phases of grant writing I describe in Module 2, or go for the week-by-week structure, so you can easily factor in holidays and other engagements. Either way, you’ll be able to track your overall progress, and you’ll always sit down to write knowing exactly what you should be working on—which can sometimes feel like half the battle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Forumula - K Award - Week by week assignments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Looking at a big scary list of 130 grant-writing To Dos can be intimidating and make it less likely you'll actually get anything done. And without any external structure or accountability, it’s hard to make sure that you’re always moving forwards.  When you sign up for The Grant Funding Formula, not only will your Trello board keep you on track, each lesson also includes a downloadable PDF with assignments for each module.  So you have an instant overview of the tasks related to each lesson, in chronological order, to keep the overwhelm at bay and you on track as you work towards preparing your grant for submission. I know that not giving yourself enough time to write is the #1 reason researchers end up binge-writing &amp; burning out. So by signing up to work on your grant with 16 weeks of step-by-step guidance, you’re guaranteeing yourself a better outcome—both in terms of your finished grant and your mental health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Forumula - K Award - Grant templates and fillable worksheets for each individual section</image:title>
      <image:caption>Because blank page syndrome is real, I give you 2 editable templates for your overall grant proposal, PLUS fillable worksheets that break the individual sections down into the questions you need to answer.  These templates alone would put you well ahead of the pack when it comes to writing a grant proposal that ticks all the right boxes… But when you combine them with: ► A super solid strategy and early validation of your grant, thanks to your stand-out Specific Aims page ► The clarity that comes with section-by-section video tutorials that tell you exactly what you need to accomplish and how to start ► Writing techniques your reviewers will love because you treat them like a fellow human being, and ► The ability to get the right kind of feedback from the right kind of people, in time to actually help you out... Well, that’s how you turn your new and improved grant-writing skills into an advantage that would feel downright unfair—if it didn’t feel so freakin' good.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Forumula - K Award - What’s the real risk of not making “writes good grants” one of your core skills?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Look, we both know the system’s broken… …when—just for starters—you can go through more than a decade of higher education without having been taught the one skill that's integral to your ability to get and keep a research-related job.  So the fact that you’re not good at writing grants – yet – is not your fault.  But here we are.  While we can agitate for change within the system to help those who come next, the immediate truth is that you still need a K Award.</image:caption>

Your schedule's bursting. → You're juggling teaching, service, and research while that tenure clock keeps ticking  → You're splitting time between clinic and lab, wondering how to fit grant writing in  → Or maybe you’re a first time R01 grant writer, and everyone acts like you should just *know* how to write these grants Sound familiar?</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - I’m Sarah Dobson.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I teach early-career researchers how to get funded at NIH. Since 2018, my team and I have helped clients bring in more than $75 Million in NIH funding. Before that, I submitted my own grants - and was successfully funded - in research grant competitions with success rates of less than 15%  I’ve taught grant-writing skills online &amp; in-person to more than 8000 researchers.  And I’ve helped my clients submit successful grants across multiple funding agencies, fields of study and specialties—the techniques I teach are area-agnostic and proven to work.  All of which goes to say... I know what it takes to get your reviewers’ attention and persuade them your grant’s worth funding.  And I’m teaching you everything I know inside this step-by-step course.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - “Sarah makes you do the work, not the reviewer.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>“So often, the really important information is buried deep in the grant because we don't really know what we're doing, on some level, and it comes out in the grant.  Sarah makes you really think through what you want to do. She makes you do the work, not the reviewer.  Sarah’s training offers a clear, focused approach, and she provides a framework to help you do what you need to do to get the reviewer/reviewers interested in your project.” – PhD, Vanderbilt University</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - “There is no doubt in my mind that Problem, Gap, Hook, Solution works "</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I signed up after a rough slump of many R01 submissions (and resubmission) gone unfunded or undiscussed. After taking your class I submitted two major grants to NIH, and both just got funded (about $10 million total spread over 5 years). There is no doubt in my mind that Problem, Gap, Hook, Solution works (in addition to everything else I learned). I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact that you have made to my career.”  – PhD, Pennington Biomedical Research Center (LSU)</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - The Grant Funding Formula® is a practical, step-by-step breakdown of everything that goes into writing a competitive NIH R01 grant.</image:title>
      <image:caption>With fillable grant writing templates &amp; video tutorials you can re-watch again and again, so you have clear guidelines to follow every time you write a grant.  Which means, once you’ve cracked The Grant Funding Formula®… You can breathe a little easier, knowing that you’ve ticked an important box for tenure, your lab can continue to operate, and you won’t have to make that mid-life career change after all.  You have confirmation that you are not an imposter. That your good ideas are worth pursuing. That the hours, days, months, years you’ve spent designing, performing, and writing about your experiments weren't in vain.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - We both know why this process isn’t easy: Nobody taught you how to do this!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Which is BONKERS. Because the ability to get your research funded is critical to your career.  Let's be real: Getting an R01 means freedom and independence to pursue your research vision. Not getting one? It could mean losing your job. And that kind of pressure can be absolutely paralyzing. You need this funding to support the people who work in your lab, to make the actual research happen, and to pay your own salary.  The pressure is on. And the stakes couldn’t be higher.  That's why you deserve a course that can teach you both the grant-writing skills and the sustainable writing practices you need to put them to good use.  So that you can efficiently produce an excellent grant your reviewers can’t ignore.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - Life-Changing Project Management Templates</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you struggle to find the time to sit down and write, or it's impossible to stick to the schedule you set for yourself… Our Trello project management templates are going to blow your mind.  (What's Trello? It’s a free project management tool. Imagine you have a virtual white board with each of your tasks on a sticky note, except they won’t blow off if you leave the window open.) With 2 template options to choose from, you can opt to organize your tasks according to the 5 key elements of the grant writing process I map out for you, or go for a weekly structure, so you can easily factor in holidays and other engagements. Either way, you’ll be able to track your overall progress, and you’ll always sit down to write knowing exactly what you should be working on—which can sometimes feel like half the battle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Grant Funding Formula - Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Timeline</image:title>
      <image:caption>Looking at a big, scary list of 130 grant-writing to-dos can be intimidating and make it less likely you'll actually get anything done. And without any external structure or accountability, it’s hard to make sure that you’re always moving forward.  But what if the path to your funded R01 didn't have to feel like a desperate sprint to the finish line? Here’s the thing: Your brilliantly-designed research deserves more than a last-minute scramble. That's why we've mapped out three paths to get you there (without the usual grant-writing hysteria).</image:caption>
