Turning ideas into reality. Quality projects start out with a well laid out action plan, be it for internal use at a company or grant proposals in academia. Below is a sample of some smaller grants I have submitted over the years. Please feel free to use them as templates or read for curiousity. These projects are all at or near completion. At the bottom you will find some relevant links to different funding opportunites.

Note: Due to the sensitive nature of large government and institutional grants, budget justifications, and regulatory protocols, this is a sub-sample of my work. Please inquire at brandon@brandonrobertsphd.com for details on large federal grant submissions, such as NIH fellowship, career development, and research grants.
