Bouvier Grant Group MSI Partnership Program
Empowering Minority Serving Institutions in Grantwriting Excellence
Bouvier Grant Group believes in advancing the success of biomedical researchers applying to NIH. To support our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we’ve created the Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program.
What is the MSI Partnership Program?
The MSI Partnership Program awards one Minority Serving Institution complimentary access to our comprehensive NIH training resources. The selected institution will receive 15 one-year memberships, enabling their investigators to enhance their grantwriting skills and increase their chances of securing NIH funding. We believe that by empowering Minority Serving Institutions, we can help train tomorrow’s leaders who will transform the world of biomedical research.
