R-Series Applicants

Although I have successfully secured R01 and R21 grants throughout my career, I continue to find Margaret's tips, insights, and updates valuable. These resources are especially helpful for experienced principal investigators, as they allow one to quickly grasp new ideas and apply them effectively to grant applications.

Your sessions have been incredibly informative and practical. I truly appreciate how clearly you explain each step, and I’m already applying what I’ve learned. I’ll definitely be recommending your program to colleagues - your services are both impressive and extremely helpful. Thank you again!

I absolutely LOVE every minute of every session, it never feels like 2 hours. There are so many good tips and tricks on each slide and the examples are really helpful. This is one of the best RD series available.

I found this course especially valuable for those of us who have never served as reviewers for an R01 study section. Understanding the importance of considering reviewers’ fatigued eyes, as they evaluate numerous grants within limited timeframes, is invaluable. This course emphasizes the need of taking extra steps to ensure clarity and assist reviewers. Dr. Bouvier’s tips and styles on writing organization, which allow reviewers to quickly grasp the key points of a proposal, were particularly enlightening. I highly recommend this course to senior postdocs and Project Scientists in preparation for their transition to independence.

The Boot Camp to Master R series I attended was incredibly valuable—probably one of the most important courses I’ve taken throughout my research career. It was also the only one that truly teaches how to survive in the research world. Every researcher needs a course like this, because we’re rarely trained in one of the most essential skills: how to seek funding to do our science.

Meg Bouvier's live lecture series helped me focus on one section at a time to develop my grant. She provides an in-depth understanding of the NIH structure, institutes, communication with POs, and how to build scientific relationships with people at the NIH. This series is amazing!

Repeat offender! I attend this every 1 or 2 years, an am learning something new every time. It is tough to stay up to date with changes and success strategies. The examples here help me to adjust my grant writing skills.

Dr. Bouvier, you are outstanding. Thank you very much! You have a wealth of wisdom, empathy and laughter which makes these sessions so informative and valuable. Thank you for your kindness!

This was a fantastic experience. The combination of Bootcamp, personalized feedback via the edits and emails, and AGE provided wrap-around support. I always felt like I had someplace to turn for answers when I got stuck, so I didn't stay stuck for long.

These trainings are so packed full of incredibly valuable information, so detailed, and with real life examples. Super high value.

This class is outstanding. Meg brings so much info and really essential detail to the discussion. Everyone who is writing a grant should take this class.

This is a GREAT training - has helped advance my grant writing 100%!

Fantastic. Meg is thoughtful and thorough. She has seen it all. There are few questions she cannot answer.

Meg made this complex grant writing process more digestible. Her slides are still valuable every time I start a new grant.

Fantastic training - I continue to learn every time I view the recorded videos. Thank you much for this amazing resource.

Tremendously valuable, actionable content presented clearly and engagingly! Meg's experience-informed insights, specific recommendations, and illustrative examples are a proverbial gold mine for applicants, as well as those of us who support them. I anticipated that the bootcamp would be terrific, but it far exceeded even my very high expectations. I will be thrilled if we are successful in bringing the treasure trove of resources Meg offers to benefit investigators here. Many thanks to Meg for the opportunity to tune in today!

This was a great insight, from someone who only assists with portions of grants! There's a high level of detail to appreciate from those who spend countless hours working on R-series and larger grants! Great training!

This was excellent! I have learned so much, and it is impacting/improving my grant writing already! Meg is an absolutely INCREDIBLE teacher!

I always learn something from Meg. It's been several years since I have written an application and the training did a wonderful job reorienting me to the process. I will be seeking additional resources from Meg's library as I prepare for a June deadline. Many thanks!

I have attended Dr. Bouvier's live bootcamps several times over the years, and each time I learn a new way how to improve the grant structure and provide more compelling applications. She continually updates the material and provides up-to-the-minute information that helps give you an edge over the competition.

There were many things about ESI in particular that I was unaware of. Great use of time. Well organized and paced session. I plan to watch again in virtual form when I start writing.

I am a research development specialist with a PhD in the earth sciences (so in other words - not an NIH scientist by any means!). This course was extremely helpful for orienting me to the basics of an R-series application so that I can better advise my faculty on how to pull together a competitive proposal. I appreciated having options of attending live, watching the livestream recording later, or going at my own pace through the LMS virtual course.

Fantastic training - I continue to learn every time I view the recorded videos. Thank you much for this amazing resource.
