[Replay] You’re Not Getting Rejected—You’re Just Applying To the Wrong Grants

How to decide which grants are worth your time and which to confidently skip.

If you’ve ever poured hours into a grant application only to hear nothing back, you’re not alone.

The truth is that not all funding is meant for you.

However, if you answer “No,” even to one question, there is a disconnect, so I recommend moving on to the next award.

There is no need to debate it; just skip it.

I hope you’ll join me for the next live stream in a few weeks!

Cheers,
