Jim was instrumental in helping AAFA win a new award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Jim carefully analyzed the written feedback on previous unsuccessful applications, researched the written guidance materials from the funder and met with PCORI staff to understand what was needed for a winning proposal. Jim worked with me to understand AAFA’s vision of the project, then took the lead on writing the LOI and full funding proposal with PCORI’s preferences in mind. According to the PCORI Project Officer, our LOI was accepted in the most competitive funding cycle in the history of this award category. The $250,000 award will allow AAFA to advance its strategic mission-centric work. We appreciate Jim’s proposal writing and proposal management talent.
