Pre-Clinical Study Design Expert | Grant and Proposal Strategy Consultant

Profile Summary

I consider myself to be a physiology scientist and strategic consultant with over a decade of experience spanning pre-clinical pharmacology, translational research, and non-dilutive funding strategy. My dual background in pre-clinical research and veterinary medicine allows me to bridge the gap between scientific innovation and funding execution, helping clients design robust studies and/or secure competitive research support. GRANT & PROPOSAL STRATEGY I provide full life-cycle grant management support, including funding opportunity identification, proposal strategy, technical writing, and post-award reporting. My experience spans programs funded by the DoD, MTEC, MRDC, SBIR, DPSI, among others. I help teams craft compelling, compliant narratives that align scientific merit with sponsor priorities, clearly define milestones, and position proposals for success in competitive review settings. PRE-CLINICAL STUDY DESIGN With extensive hands-on and managerial experience in in vivo pharmacology, I support pre-clinical program design from concept to execution. My expertise includes model selection, endpoint identification, and milestone-driven study planning across therapeutic areas such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and renal injury. As a former IACUC Chair, I bring a strong understanding of animal welfare, study oversight, and ethical compliance in research environments.
