“Stop Wasting Time on Failed Proposals: Learn the Four Steps to Funding Success”
Master a proven system to craft compelling grant proposals for major funding agencies like NIH and NSF in this online, interactive workshop for early and mid-career researchers.
In just two days, you’ll learn the four essential steps that turn your grant proposals into winning submissions. This workshop will give you the tools to craft proposals that stand out, resonate with reviewers, and get funded—without the guesswork.
What You'll Take Away from This Workshop
Over two engaging days, you'll dive deep into the art and science of grant writing. We've designed this workshop to give you practical, hands-on skills that will transform how you approach funding proposals. The Four Steps to Funding framework is a road-tested method that's helped countless researchers secure the funding they need. Here's what you can look forward to learning:
Nailing Your 'Why': Making Your Research Matter
We'll show you how to articulate the heart of why your research matters. It's about connecting your work to the bigger picture—the goals that drive your field and the priorities of your funding agencies. By the end of this session, you'll be crafting narratives that grab reviewers from the get-go, showing them why your work isn't just interesting, but essential.
Defining Your 'What': Showcasing Your Innovative Edge
Here's where we dig into the core of your research—be it a burning question, a game-changing hypothesis, or an objective that could reshape your field. We'll work with you to position your ideas so they shine in a sea of competing proposals. You'll learn to distill complex concepts into clear, powerful statements that make reviewers sit up and take notice.
Establishing Your 'Who': Proving You're the Right Team for the Job
It's not just about having the right credentials—it's about presenting them in a way that builds unwavering confidence in your team. We'll guide you through the process of showcasing your expertise and readiness, helping you craft a narrative that leaves no doubt in reviewers' minds that you're the perfect fit for this research.
Structuring Your 'How': Mapping Your Path to Success
A great idea needs a solid plan. In this session, we'll help you create a roadmap that balances ambitious vision with practical feasibility. You'll learn to lay out your approach in a way that ties everything together, giving reviewers a clear, logical path from your initial question to your groundbreaking results.
Crafting Your Story: Turning Information into Inspiration
Great research deserves great storytelling. We'll help you elevate your proposal from a dry recitation of facts to a compelling narrative that keeps reviewers engaged from start to finish. You'll learn the art of translating complex ideas into stories that not only inform but inspire, making your project's importance crystal clear.
Leveraging AI: Enhancing Your Writing Without Losing Your Voice
In today's fast-paced research world, many are turning to AI to speed up the writing process. But here's the thing—AI is a tool, not a magic wand. It can churn out content quickly, but it often misses the nuanced requirements that make a proposal truly shine.
That's where our Four Steps to Funding framework becomes your secret weapon. We'll show you how to use this framework to guide AI tools effectively, ensuring that any AI-generated content aligns perfectly with what reviewers are looking for. You'll learn to produce writing that's not just technically sound, but strategically persuasive—something AI alone can't achieve.
Remember, though, AI is optional. Many successful grants are written the old-fashioned way, and there's a depth and creativity to human writing that AI can't replicate. Whether you choose to use AI or stick to traditional methods, our framework will ensure your proposal stands on solid ground, compelling and credible from start to finish.
What Will Happen Each Day
The Four Steps to Funding Workshop is designed to transform your grant writing approach. Over two immersive days, you'll master our proprietary Four Steps to Funding framework—a clear, step-by-step process that resonates with reviewers. Through hands-on training, examples, and coaching discussions, you'll learn to craft proposals that build both desire for your work and trust in your ability to execute. By the end, you'll have a powerful proposal structure that gives you a distinct competitive edge.

The Four Steps to Funding Workshop: Key Benefits
Approach Your Next Grant Proposal with a Proven, Strategic Framework
In the competitive world of research funding, having a clear and effective strategy is essential. The Four Steps to Funding workshop provides a structured, evidence-based approach to help you craft proposals that align with the priorities of top funding agencies. Learn how to present your research in a way that resonates with reviewers and maximizes your chances of success.
Here are some of the additional benefits:
1. Craft Proposals That Resonate with Funders
Master the articulation of your research's "Why" and "What" in a compelling narrative that positions your work as the solution to critical, unmet needs. Develop proposals that not only communicate significance but also align with reviewers' priorities, helping you stand out in a crowded field. Real-world feedback from a previous attendee of a workshop: "Getting clarity on the core logic of my proposal (selling it to myself first) was key to helping the writing flow. The workshop taught me to be a 'teacher' in my writing, with empathy for the reader, to get them excited about my work." A researcher from USA.
2. Establish Credibility and Trust
Showcase your team's expertise in a way that convinces reviewers you're the ideal choice to execute the research. Learn to weave your credentials seamlessly into your proposal, significantly boosting your funding chances.
3. Master a Streamlined Writing Process
Our framework breaks down the complex task of grant writing into manageable, step-by-step processes. Reduce overwhelm and work more efficiently with practical strategies to overcome common hurdles like "blank page" syndrome.
4. Approach Grants with Confidence
Gain a repeatable, strategic process that you can apply to future proposals. No more second-guessing or stress-filled submissions—approach each proposal knowing you're on the right track.
5. Accelerate Your Research Career
Learn to craft proposals that not only secure funding but also open doors to new opportunities, collaborations, and recognition in your field. Set the stage for long-term success beyond just one grant. Real-world feedback from a previous attendee of the Four Steps to Funding workshop: "The workshop provided concrete steps for organizing the writing process and taught me how to think logically about developing my research story. I now set aside time each day to iterate and develop a cohesive, compelling narrative." A researcher from California, USA.
What Makes This Workshop Unique
Unlike typical grant writing workshops, the Four Steps to Funding approach tackles the real challenges researchers face in securing competitive funding by providing systematic frameworks and approaches for developing a more compelling Grant Proposal. Here are some examples:
We teach you to build your proposal like a mountain climb, where each section propels the reviewer higher towards endorsing your project. This isn't your run-of-the-mill writing advice - it's about strategically sequencing your content to mirror the reviewer's thought process, turning potential skeptics into champions of your work.
Forget bland credential lists. We help you uncover your "Magic Powers" - those special strengths that make your team the perfect fit. It's about pinpointing what makes you irreplaceable and weaving that throughout your proposal. Learn to spotlight your team's distinct capabilities in a way that makes reviewers think, "If not this team, then who?"
Many proposals crash and burn by jarring with reviewer expectations - we call this "Frame Clash." Our solution? Frame Meshing. We'll show you how to start from common ground, using shared perspectives as a launch pad to introduce your ideas. This approach ensures your proposal clicks with reviewers from word one, setting you up for success.
Ditch the idea of cramming all your credentials into one boring section. We'll teach you to "Layer the WHO" across your entire proposal. It's like seasoning a dish - you sprinkle your team's expertise throughout, making every bite (or in this case, every page) more flavorful and convincing.
Think of reviewer interest like a light switch that's tricky to turn back on once it's off. We'll show you how to keep that switch firmly in the "on" position from the get-go. Learn to sidestep the pitfalls that can turn reviewers off early, and instead, craft an opening that grabs their attention and doesn't let go.
Grantsmanship is an essential skill, but in today’s competitive funding landscape, it’s not enough to simply know the mechanics of grant writing. The Four Steps to Funding workshop enhances traditional grantsmanship with advanced strategies that address the psychological and persuasive aspects of proposal writing.
While traditional grantsmanship focuses on the technical aspects of writing, we take it a step further by teaching you how to align your proposals with the psychological journey of the reviewer. Our approach transforms standard grantsmanship into a powerful, strategic tool that maximizes your chances of success.
These are just a taste of our unique approach. By workshop's end, you'll have a toolkit that goes way beyond cookie-cutter grant writing advice, giving you a real edge in the dog-eat-dog world of research funding.
