Grant Writing Intensive (GRIT) Program - Applications Due

Elevate your grant-writing skills with the Grant Writing Intensive (GRIT), a year-long practicum designed for faculty and select postdoctoral researchers pursuing NIH K- or R-series grants (or comparable awards). Participants join small cohorts in basic or clinical science for weekly instruction, one-on-one coaching, and feedback to craft a competitive proposal for submission within six months.

Program fee: $4,500

Upcoming Cohorts

The GRIT program is offered twice a year, with the Fall cohorts beginning in August and the Spring cohorts beginning in February. It is ideal to enroll in a cohort at least 5 months before your submission due date, though exceptions can be made.
