Grants Writing Resources

A WAG is an active writing group that meets once a week over a 10-week block and follows a strict agenda of 15 minutes of updates and goal-setting followed by 30 minutes of individual writing, and then 15 minutes of reporting and wrap-up (there is no peer review of your writing – the WAG is focused on developing a process and habit of writing). A WAG is limited to 4-8 members. If you adhere to the plan, you will achieve increased writing productivity (quantity and quality), have greater control over the writing process, experience improved goal-setting and time management, and as a bonus, you’ll establish relationships with new colleagues and friends.

BSPH facilitates WAGs twice per year in the summer and winter.

The Faculty Factory Podcast came from a desire to communicate faculty-development specific information in a modern and intimate way. This website serves as a central location for: highly-valued faculty affairs and faculty development (FAD) content, including conversations with faculty experts in academic medicine career development and leadership; a bibliography of FAD scholarship; and the websites for every FAD office in all North American medical schools. One of their topics focuses on research & scholarship.

The Johns Hopkins Editorial Assistance Services Initiative (EASI) was launched to provide editorial support, at no charge to faculty, for grant proposals and journal article manuscripts (Note: we do not support editing for book chapters at this time).

EASI is open to all tenure-track JHU faculty, from every school, division, and rank; we particularly encourage women, underrepresented minorities, and junior faculty to apply. EASI staff will connect JHU faculty with one of our pool of experienced (freelance) editors. Once an editor has received your draft, please allow two weeks for edits; we also suggest you leave 2-3 additional days to make any necessary revisions before submission.
