About this episode

The episode discusses the shift in the funding landscape and how grant writers can avoid burnout by thinking strategically rather than just increasing their workload.

If your grants calendar feels like a never-ending emergency and the wins still aren't coming in at the rate they should, here's what Meredith wants you to know — the funding landscape has shifted, and doing more of what you've been doing is going to cost you more than it gives you back. ⚡ In this video, we're breaking down the difference between the "right-now" grant and the "right" grant, and why the in-house grant writers who are winning right now aren't writing more they're thinking like a Funding Strategist. 💡
