The Grant Landscape Has Changed. Now What?
In today’s political and funding climate, the strategies that once worked for winning NIH grants may no longer apply. Between policy shifts, compliance scrutiny, and evolving expectations around language and impact—many research teams are left wondering what reviewers are actually looking for.
This expert-led webinar, hosted by Alaniz Marketing and Dr. Michaela Kiernan, Senior Research Scholar at the Stanford University School of Medicine, brings together experienced voices from healthcare strategy and academic research to help you adapt and thrive.
Whether you’re preparing a new application, revising a resubmission, or looking to sharpen your strategy for future funding—this session will provide the clarity and pragmatic tools you need to move forward with confidence.

- How to integrate community engagement in ways that are strategic, fundable, and compliant
