Common Grant Writing Mistake 2.

Weak alignment to criteria
Great narrative, but reviewers can’t easily award points.
To avoid this scenario:
-Convert scoring rubric to an outline
-Use “point-earning” structure: claim →evidence→method → output/outcome→ measures. #grantwriter #grants

Common Grant Writing Mistakes 1/12: Not answering the funder’s question. A nice program write-up won’t score if it misses priorities, eligibility, or who the grant is for. Build a quick compliance map and write in the order they score.

Is it me, or does this blue sky platform feel like we’re all walking past one another with a sign. But no one reads it, no one talks about it and no one cares?

Foundations are carrying more of the load, but they’re not a neutral replacement. Awards are fewer, reporting is heavier, and many dollars now favor practice over research. This is the funding environment researchers are navigating right now. 4/4
#Foundations #ResearchPolicy #Nonprofits

Outside NIH, agencies like AHRQ, HRSA, CDC, and VA still fund access and systems work, but instability is the risk. Funding cycles shorten, priorities shift midstream, and assumptions about renewals no longer hold.
3/4
#HealthSystems #PolicyWatch #GrantWriters

Some NIH institutes and federal agencies still fund work touching disparities, but framing matters more than ever. Identity-forward language draws scrutiny. Review behavior has changed, and language audits are real, even when the science is solid. 2/4
#FederalFunding #PublicHealth #Grants

NIH funding hasn’t vanished, but it no longer moves the way it used to. Health equity work can still be viable if it’s tightly anchored to mission, outcomes, and service delivery. Continuation years are now risk points, not formalities. 1/4

HHS + DEA announced a 4th extension of telehealth prescribing flexibilities for controlled meds through Dec 31, 2026 (effective Jan 1). This prevents a “telehealth cliff” for patients relying on remote care while permanent rules are finalized. #Telehealth #HealthPolicy #grantwriter #grants

So the Wegovy pill is here, but that wont make it “easy” to get. Self pay pricing is reported around $149 to $299 per month, many plans will still require prior authorization, and dosing is strict (empty stomach, water, wait 30 minutes). We shall see… #Wegovy #HealthEquity #GrantWriter

CDC moved COVID shots for kids to shared clinical decision making. That can blur what is routine vs optional and may lower uptake among higher risk kids who need protection most. Watch how insurers and schools interpret this shift. #COVID19 #VaccinePolicy #GrantWriter

Parents of small children, Happy New Year. HHS has decided it’s freezing child care funds nationwide. Is this our government’s way of making women “stay-at-home” moms, or just another means to push the working poor, especially single mothers, to the breaking point?

Texas already has 405 AI data centers and 442 more are planned. If all get built, that’s 847 data centers total—more than the 750ish number of hospitals in TX. Hospitals save lives. Data centers enrich billionaires, strain water & power, reshape towns. #Texas #DataCenters #Healthcare #Water

You need excellent proposal writing services in today’s funding climate. Without planning, strategy and the right program design and staff, you’re not positioned well to win a grant or contract. Your words may sound good but mean nothing to reviewers.

An estimate cited in JAMA Health Forum warns that 338 of ~1,700 rural hospitals are in danger of closing due to the Big Beautiful Bill. ER access, maternity care, and local jobs will be eliminated for small towns and farming communities. #RuralHealth #Hospitals #Medicaid #HealthPolicy #RuralAmerica

Kennedy’s cuts to research programs on sickle cell disease & Black maternal health are a direct assault on LIFE. Studies by Drs. Oyedeji & Slaughter-Acey were abruptly halted. One was labeled "low return on investment.” Health Equity Matters. #PublicHealth #HealthDisparities

Winning a grant requires strategy as it is a high-stakes competition with funding rates now between 8–16%. To win, you must compete against the best.

Work with your best talent and execute flawlessly. An excellent, compliant proposal is the only way to an award.

It’s exhausting and depressing to know our government is culling the population through destructive healthcare policies and facilitating death through loss of health insurance via the BBB and cuts to ACA tax credits, Medicaid and Medicare …allegedly.

The December 22 House Oversight meeting set in motion intensified federal oversight aimed at programs serving the poorest Americans. More reviews, audits, and delays will squeeze staff and put essential services at risk in the months ahead.
