Stacy Chin walks through how to build grant writing skills: work in a lab, read journals regularly, and volunteer to help professors or postdocs draft and edit proposals. You'll learn how strong grants work and how to turn complex science into clear, persuasive writing.
You can also conduct research in an academic lab or industry lab. Reading academic journals is also advantageous in developing these skill sets as well. And if you're in an academic setting, you can also reach out to professors, grad students, or postdocs and offer to help them write, review, or edit their own grants. And this is a great way to expose yourself how to write and draft a really strong academic research grant and also how to translate really complex ideas onto paper.
