R&R in the academy can be the opposite of rest & relaxation – revising and resubmitting to scholarly journals can be tough! In this Scholarly Writing Brown Bag, Jade Metzger-Riftkin, (OTL GTA & Ph.D. candidate, Department of Communication) will walk you through some key aspects of the R&R process, including how to interpret reviewers' comments, systematically address reviewer concerns, and drafting a letter to editors and reviewers.

During the study, participants develop drafts of core sections of their own grant proposal, then meet as a small group every other week (8 two-hour virtual meetings) to receive critical feedback on their work-in-progress from a skilled grant writing coach and peers in their group. Groups are led by an experienced grant writing coach (senior NIH-funded investigator) who has been specially trained in the coaching group model.

The intervention begins with a 2-day virtual kickoff, followed by 5 months of bi-weekly virtual group coaching meetings, and concluding with a virtual mock study section. Depending on randomization, some participants will have access to an additional 18 months of individualized coaching.
