Consulting

I am available as a consultant for grants and research projects. Although I am happy to advise however is most useful, typically this involves expertise with grant strategy, or data collection related to speech, aging, and/or hearing challenges. I have extensive experience writing and reviewing NIH grants for multiple mechanisms (R21, R01, program project grants, etc.).

Fees

My consulting rate is $375/hour for all activities. I keep track of actual time spent; I typically bill based on time-spent, rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes. Although it varies widely by the project, something in the neighborhood of 10–40 hours per year is generally reasonable. I'm also happy to provide occasional consulting of 1–2 hours at a time as your project goes along.

Full-day consulting (e.g. for a site visit) is $2500/day (plus travel expenses and meals). Part-days are charged hourly or daily, whichever is cheaper.

Authorship

As a rule I do not expect authorship on projects on which I am a consultant, although I am also happy to join if I can be useful.

Grants

If you are writing a grant on which you would like me to serve as a consultant, please get in touch. If it seems like a good fit I am happy to provide: 

  • A biosketch or CV

  • A letter of support (please provide a draft, which I will modify and send back on letterhead)

  • Initial consultation regarding your project
