Lab drowning in paperwork? Hire an in-house writer
Briefly

An individual discovered their talent for storytelling at a young age, which aided them in their research career through manuscript and grant writing. They were offered a position as an in-house grant writer in a lab, where PIs struggled with time-consuming writing tasks. Recognizing that dedicated writers could enhance efficiency, the lab hired a postdoc who could manage grant applications and reports while ensuring comprehensive detail and coherence. Such writers serve as structural engineers, supporting the scientific vision of PIs by coordinating project documentation.
The principal investigators recognized that writing caused a bottleneck in their work, as completing grant applications and reports took time they preferred spending on scientific work.
After basic ideas for a grant application are established, a dedicated person can write up the proposal, as long as they understand the topic and have an eye for detail.
