Lost in Translation: The February 2027 Deadline Cohort

 

Everything in the self-paced curriculum — plus five weeks of live sessions, peer feedback, and direct coaching with Dr. Lisa Carter-Bawa. Built around the February 5, 2027 NIH deadline.

You've seen the Five Translation Gaps. You have the modules and the workbooks. The Live Cohort experience adds what self-paced learning cannot: structure, feedback, and accountability — with your actual grant as the through line.

Over five weeks, you'll work through the curriculum alongside a small group of investigators all preparing for the same NIH deadline. You'll join five live sessions with Dr. Carter-Bawa, apply each module to your own Specific Aims page, and leave with a polished draft and five weeks of runway before February 5.

Space is limited to 10 participants to ensure meaningful coaching and personalized feedback on every participant's work.

What's Included section:

  • Five live 90-minute sessions — Mondays, noon–1:30 PM ET, October 19–November 16

  • Full access to the Lost in Translation self-paced curriculum (14 modules, 13 companion workbooks)

  • Peer cohort with breakout pairs for real-time feedback

  • Direct engagement with your Specific Aims page throughout the program
