Your Science Deserves to Be Understood

You’ve written your Specific Aims page. The science is solid. But will reviewers understand it the way you intend? Every year, strong grants get triaged — not because the science was weak, but because the translation from the investigator’s mind to the reviewer’s understanding broke down. The Grant Translation Audit identifies exactly where those breakdowns are in your aims page and shows you how to fix them.

Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa

I'm Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa—a behavioral scientist, nurse practitioner, and researcher who has spent my career at the intersection of science, communication, and implementation. I've written grants that got funded. I've written grants that didn't. I've sat on review panels and watched brilliant science fail to land—not because the ideas weren't strong, but because something got lost in translation between the researcher's vision and the page. That gap is what the Translation Gap Framework addresses. After years of mentoring early career scientists, I developed this curriculum to teach what I wish someone had taught me: that grantsmanship isn't about performing for reviewers or following a formula. It's about returning to your authentic scientific voice and learning to communicate it with clarity and conviction. You don't need reinvention. You need a return. I'm honored to be part of your journey.
