I assist states, cities and counties - as well as individual researchers - in prospecting for, and ultimately securing, federal discretionary and/or formula grants based on my experience in public and private sector grantmaking. I enjoy working on solutions that address community needs, respond to America's opioid epidemic and develop strategies that create hope (even in our most distressed communities).
