I just reviewed NIH fellowship applications for the first time. Since these are very different applications than the R applications I usually review, I made note of a few common challenges that I thought might be helpful for prospective applicants and their sponsors/mentors:

We need to all advocate for leadership development. It’s a big differentiator. If the institution doesn’t make it happen use a sponsor to ‘make the case’. Otherwise get a coach and do it together as a group on your own. It’s a worthy investment! Onward!!!

So glad to see you! It came full circle for me to attend and incredibly, humbly receive the award. Grateful for all those before me and for our reconnection! #🫁women unite!
