How I Got My Grant - Dr. Karen Lozano
Dr. Karen Lozano discusses how she used the lack of start-up funding from the University as a motivation for writing grants early in her career. She emphasizes the need to focus on career goals and not passion as a driving force for grant writing. Having received the NSF Faculty Career Award at 27, she has maintained a steady stream of successful grant submissions, and she imparts valuable advice from her years of experience in this video.
In this video series, we interview people who have successfully obtained external grants for research or development programs. We ask them to share their experiences and provide advice on how they navigated the process of applying for a grant, complying with its guidelines, and supplying deliverables to the funding agencies.
The mission of the series is to generate information that will inspire University faculty, staff, and students to seek out funding opportunities and apply for grants at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
