We stay current on NIH happenings and would be delighted to keep you informed.
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates that most retractions in the biomedical and life sciences literature result from misconduct, and not “honest error” as has been reported by others. Such studies have followed a publication in the journal Nature last year indicating that retractions have risen ten-fold in the past decade. The New York Times reported on the PNAS paper on Oct 1.
Margaret Bouvier received her PhD in 1995 in Biomedical Sciences from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. After an NINDS post-doctoral fellowship, she worked as a staff writer for long-standing NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins in the Office of Press, Policy, and Communications for the Human Genome Project and NHGRI. Since 2007, Meg has specialized in editing and advising on NIH submissions, and began offering virtual courses in 2015. She's recently worked with more than 40% of the nation's highest-performing hospitals*, four of the top 10 cancer hospitals, three of the top five medical schools for research, and 14 NCI-designated cancer centers. Her experience at NIH as both a bench scientist and staff writer greatly informs her approach to NIH grantwriting. She has helped clients land over half a billion in federal funding. Bouvier Grant Group is a woman-owned small business.
