C2DREAM ID Core Hosts Grant Writing Workshops for Early-Stage Investigators, Led by Dr. Jude Mikal, PhD
C2DREAM’s Investigator Development (ID) Core recently hosted a two-part Grant Writing Workshop series as part of the Support and TrAining for Research Success (STARS) program. The series was led by Dr. Jude Mikal, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Minnesota’s College of Pharmacy and Co-Investigator/Research Development Specialist on C2DREAM’s ID Core. The workshops leveraged his decade-long expertise in project development, research design, and grant writing. Dr. Mikal’s extensive experience, honed through numerous one-on-one consultations with faculty and research teams, provided participants with valuable insights and practical skills essential for crafting successful grant proposals.
