Her Story: NRMN STAR Program Alumna Dr. Brandy Piña-Watson
As a mentee in the NRMN STAR grant writing coaching group program, Dr. Brandy Piña-Watson found the experience of working with mentors who've won NIH grants to be invaluable.
NRMN's coaches have a proven record of garnering NIH funding. Dr. Piña-Watson joined NRMN STAR at the suggestion of her more senior colleagues at Texas Tech. Based at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, NRMN STAR is designed to help those who have not yet started writing a grant but who expect to do so within the next year.
