EXPERIENCE AND SERVICES
We provide up to seven workshops, writing support, timeline management, and editing throughout the grant-writing process. Students and post-docs get invaluable grant-writing training and PIs develop their teams and a complete application. While we cannot guarantee funding, we have a long track record of successfully funded grant applications.
Jodi L. Johnson, PhD of DerMEDit has decades of experience working within and helping others establish effective collaborative teams. Round table discussions teach each person the value of listening to every distinct voice at the table and coming to understand each other’s scientific language.
Dr. Johnson also works in concert with Cathrine Lynnerup, MS, a change and leadership management coach (owner of
Pontomos) who together have the expertise to coach you through building a more productive team. Whether you are part of a group of laboratory researchers setting up a new cross-disciplinary collaboration or running a non-profit as it grows and changes directions, we can help you develop your team to reach larger goals and enjoy the process.
My experience managing timelines and deadlines and preparing and editing publications of the
meeting report and associated peer-reviewed articles for the Montagna Symposium on the Biology of Skin can be applied to organizing/editing book chapters or other large multi-manuscript projects.
DerMEDit delights in not only improving your current manuscript or presentation, but in teaching you and your team how to improve your writing in the future. Having developed well over 150 articles, please see Loss of Skin Microbial Diversity and Alteration of Bacterial Metabolic Function in Hidradenitis Suppurativa - Journal of Investigative Dermatology (jidonline.org) for an example of our work.
We translate complex science into language each person can understand. We have written patient-facing articles as well as important review articles for a wide scientific audience.
We will gain an understanding of the audience for each project and ensure that the presentation of your work captures the attention of your target audience. Whether it be a cover letter, response to reviewers, or providing your manuscript with an overall scientific review, together we will ensure that your message is being clearly conveyed.
