Why This Workshop Is Different
You won’t find vague suggestions or one-size-fits-all tips here. Instead, we offer you a step-by-step system built on over a decade of experience helping hundreds of researchers secure substantial funding. What sets our new approach apart is its focus on supporting and enhancing the creative process behind your proposals. We don’t just help you with the writing; we help you develop and vet the very best ideas, turning them into fundable proposals from conception through to completion. This holistic approach ensures that your proposals stand out by addressing the most critical aspect: the strength of the ideas behind the writing.
This isn’t just another generic writing workshop. Our sessions are led by experienced scientists who’ve been in your shoes and understand the unique challenges of securing funding in today’s competitive research landscape. We know what it takes to craft proposals that resonate because we’ve done it ourselves—over and over again.
We don’t just aim to help you get funded—we want to help you make a lasting impact. Our workshop is designed to ensure that your proposals do more than just meet the criteria; they inspire and motivate reviewers to champion your work. This focus on creating meaningful, impactful proposals is what makes our approach truly unique.
Our workshop isn’t a crowded, impersonal webinar. We keep our groups small to ensure that each participant receives personalized feedback and support. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly on your proposal, with guidance from experts who are dedicated to your success.

What our clients say about us...
"The Grant Proposal Lab taught me the importance of building a 'tower of trust' in my proposals. It was a game-changer in how I choose to use my time effectively in the grant writing process.”
"One of the most valuable lessons I learned was to slow down, seek feedback, and invest in myself. The iterative process became key to improving my proposals.”
"Taking a step back to focus on the core elements of my proposal, such as the tower of trust, made the process flow more smoothly. The Lab emphasized the importance of storytelling and 'teaching' my story in the writing.”
"I realized the value of spending more time iterating on the flow of ideas before diving too deep into writing. This approach made a significant difference in the quality of my proposal.”
"The Lab 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.”
"Getting clarity on the core logic of my proposal (selling it to myself first) was key to helping the writing flow. The Lab taught me to be a 'teacher' in my writing, with empathy for the reader, to get them excited about my work.”
