I Thought NIH Was Out Of My League
"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. My R01 application was funded."

The Easiest Grant I Have Ever Written
