Groundwork is a weekly newsletter for women of color in academic research who want to prepare and submit their next grant without losing themselves in the process.

Each week, you’ll learn why common grant preparation challenges happen—and practical ways to move through them.

You’ll receive practical strategies, coaching insights, and real stories to help you:

  • Prepare stronger, more competitive grants with greater clarity.
  • Understand what’s getting in the way of consistent progress—and how to keep moving your grant forward.
