Grants Administration Community: April Open Mic
The next Grants Administration Community open mic is on Wednesday, April 23rd from 2:00-3:00pm. We will begin with a discussion around the competitive LOI process, which you might have seen on the listserv as an active discussion topic with a follow-up survey. Eryn Marchiolo from the Rheumatology Research Foundation will be joining us to discuss the survey results, and we can take a deeper dive into how different organizations structure this process.
As always, we urge members to come and ask other, non-monthly-topic-related grants admin questions, as well.
As a reminder, the Grants Admin Community holds monthly webinars in an open mic-style format—unless there is a topic that lends itself to an invited expert speaker(s)—around one-to-three pre-planned topics of member interest based on common listserv questions and per member request to spark candid discussion. These webinars are not limited to the scheduled topics, and will unfold as the conversation dictates, offering common problems and potential solutions. Please see and add to the running list of topics here (scroll down to the bottom to see topics added in 2025).
