Webinars with Academic Research Funding Strategies
Lucy Deckard established Academic Research Funding Strategies, LLC (ARFS) in 2010. She has helped to develop successful proposals to NSF, NIH, the Department of Education, the Department of Defense, and other agencies and foundations, including proposals for large institutional and center-level grants. Prior to establishing ARFS, Lucy worked in research development at Texas A&M and as a research engineer in industry where she obtained funding from DoD, DARPA, and DoE. Lucy will be joining us for four webinars in the 2023-2024 Academic Year.
