When most labs think about grant planning, it’s usually a frantic race against deadlines. But what happens in the quiet weeks that follow? Long-term planning is the key to thriving, not just surviving. It’s about understanding how today’s decisions impact the future and building a strategy that considers timing, capacity, and funding mix.
