Julia Barzyk is a former program manager at a major federal funding organization and the founder of Wise Investigator, where she and her team of coaches help early-career faculty win single-investigator awards. Through individualized, one-on-one coaching that demystifies the “hidden curriculum” of the funding process, their clients have secured $6M+ in federal, state, and foundation support in just over two years. Seventy-five percent are funded within 18 months, with an average award of $365K. Julia’s insider perspective, combined with her team’s breadth and depth of expertise and hands-on support, drives the program’s results.
