Grant Materials

To successfully apply for grants, examples are critical. But these materials often pass informally from mentors to students. Although there are reasons for this (past grant applications are often embarrassing to look back upon, or may propose work that isn't yet published), this informal process disadvantages students who do not have access to a rich academic network.

For this reason, I am choosing to share my past materials publicly (although they are indeed slightly embarrassing).
