Grant Writing Made Clear

In today’s episode of Grant Writing Made Clear, Dr. Trenette dives into something many of us need now more than ever—community. When funding dries up and institutional support feels shaky, where do we turn? Dr. Trenette explores how creating or joining a research or grant writing collective can offer a powerful sense of grounding, support, and strategy during uncertain times. Dr. Trenette strongly believes we are stronger together.

Whether you’re a seasoned researcher, a nonprofit leader, or somewhere in between, this episode offers both emotional encouragement and strategic insight to help you keep going.

Because yes, the work is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone.
