AHS monthly research huddles strengthen proposal concepts, leading to more competitive and impactful proposals by leveraging the expertise of the AHS community in a supportive environment.

How the program works:

  • Applicants share proposal concepts or a specific aims page and obtain feedback from peer grant coaches during a live 1-hour session
  • + Coffee/snacks/networking!

Benefits of participating:

  • Insight from diverse perspectives
  • Submit stronger proposals
  • Learn about other AHS research
  • Support your colleagues
  • Make new connections
  • Build community

Example of PI feedback: "I received many helpful comments during the research huddle that significantly improved my proposal."
