As the K to R Essentials opens for new applicants, it’s one thing for me to say how beneficial it is. But it’s so much more impactful when you hear it from a fellow researcher who went through the program. 

In this episode, I’m revisiting a conversation with a former K to R Essentials member, Kristin O’Grady.

The mindset shift from mentee to PI doesn’t always happen overnight. Sometimes it’s a progression where each step you take gets you closer to believing you’re enough to get the job done.

Kristin O’Grady joined my group coaching program after trying other grant workshops that left her with more questions than answers. In our community, Kristin started making slow but steady progress that created a big transformation. She did this alongside her peers, reminding her that she’s not alone in pursuing her career goals and writing her first big R01.

Tune in to this episode to learn:

• The limitations of institutional grant workshops
• Why writing your first R01 on your own isn’t easy
• How group cohorts inspire action and new ideas

And so much more!

If you’re interested in taking a similar path as Kristin and joining the K to R Essentials, our Spring 2024 cohort is still taking applications.
