Empowering Researchers to Achieve More Impact with Less Sacrifice

How SCI•Foundry Helps You Succeed

At SCI•Foundry, we understand the struggles you face as a researcher because we’ve been there too. Securing funding, leading a team, and building a sustainable career in research often feels like an uphill battle. You might find yourself stuck in the exhausting cycle of grant rejections, overwhelmed by team management challenges, and buried under an ever-growing workload. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With the right systems, strategies, and support, you can transform your approach to research, achieve greater impact, and finally experience the balance you’ve been searching for.

SCI•Foundry was built by researchers, for researchers—our team knows firsthand the unique challenges of your field. We’ve navigated the same hurdles, and now we’re here to guide you with the tools, frameworks, and support that we know work because they’ve worked for us and hundreds of others.

We provide the proven tools and personalized guidance to help you:

Secure consistent funding through clear, compelling grant proposals.

Build and lead effective research teams without burning out.

Find balance between your work and personal life, ensuring long-term career success and fulfillment.

Why We Exist: A Team Dedicated to Your Success

SCI•Foundry was created by researchers, for researchers, to offer a holistic, results-driven approach to solving the unique challenges faced by those in academic and research careers. Led by a team of experienced scientists, grant writers, and career mentors, SCI•Foundry provides personalized support designed specifically for researchers at all stages of their journey.

Dr. Morgan Giddings, our founder, saw firsthand how many of her colleagues struggled with the same issues she faced—funding rejections, leadership challenges, and balancing the demands of research with personal well-being. As she describes:

“I saw how hard many of my peers were working but not achieving the results they deserved. After overcoming these same struggles, I wanted to build something that would help others break free from the same frustrations—by giving them the tools, systems, and mindset they need to succeed.”

From those early beginnings, our team has grown to support researchers worldwide. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds—if not thousands—of researchers secure funding, lead effective teams, and build fulfilling, impactful careers. SCI•Foundry was built to ensure that the tools and strategies that have proven successful for us are accessible to others navigating the same path.

"Having a dedicated writing coach and coaching team was one of the most helpful aspects of
Grant Foundry. Having a supportive group that looked at my writing through each iteration was
so important for improving the clarity of my writing. Highly recommend!"

"I was afraid that a NIH grant was out of my league. They had rejected me repeatedly. I knew my ideas were good but my writing style was holding me back. I discovered Morgan's Grant Story Funnel and spent 12 weeks immersed in the course. I learned how to write with passion and clarity…. I had found a more effective way to express my ideas in all of my communications."

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our clients have to say about their experience with SCI•Foundry:

"I am very happy to share with you that I have been awarded an R01 from the NIH!...The experience of working with you and other members was eye-opening. It changed my mindset completely and had such a huge impact on how I approach grant writing overall. Thank you so much"

Chigusa Kurumada, Univ. of Rochester

“Morgan Giddings online grant writing courses have totally changed my views on grant writing; I now enjoy the process, and I am able to help my lab members improve their grants.”

Ane Laugen

“...it is totally true that my last R01 was the easiest grant I have ever written—and it was fun. Clarity changed the grant from work to flow. It took me three months to lock in the specific aims but then the grant just kind of flowed out of me so easily. I actually enjoyed it!”

Lisann Gittner

"firm mentors/ collaborators, PO at NIH and a book that truly truly changed my writing style : Morgan Giddings ' four steps to funding'"

Mythreye Karthikeyan

Confidence! - This is still a work in progress, but I no longer feel that having confidence is something I can only dream of. Now I feel more comfy in my own skin and skillsets, and places where I need work, I know there are actionable steps I can take. My grant writing - writing skills in general - have improved. And I am better at attracting people I want to work with, and creating boundaries.
