Areas of Expertise
Kafryn has more than six years experience in grant preparation, writing, editing, and submission to NIH (10 institutes and centers), NSF, FDA (USDA), DOD, and several foundations. Grant submission requires a team approach. Aside from working closely with company personnel, Kafryn networks with a group of highly qualified consultants, including financial analysts, graphic designers, and other grant service providers. Kafryn’s involvement can include project management, locating potential funding sources, planning and outlining the grant, conferring with the funding agency, deciding on figures and tables, drafting and editing text, compiling necessary information and materials for the forms (budgets, biosketches, facilities, etc.), formatting the grant and bibliography (EndNote), finalizing and seeing the application package through to completed submission, and then following up with supplemental materials and reviewing/responding to the summary statement (or equivalent) on the reviewed grant.
Although much of her work focuses on communicating to a scientifically literate audience, Kafryn has ample experience in adapting technical information for presentation to a non-technical audience. Further, many of her clients are non-native English speakers.
