Proposal Development Experience

2021 Wrote a successful NSF ASEE grant ("Quantifying the Mitigation of Sudden Cardiac Death Risk", $156k for 2 years)

2017-2020 Assisted the development of the following successful proposals:

• NIH NIDA UG3/UH3 (“nVNS in Patients with Opioid Use Disorders”, 2020-2025, UG3 Phase: $460k, UH3 Phase: $3.9M, PIs: JD Bremner, OT Inan)

• DARPA ElectRx (“Multi-Modal Sensing Enabled Closed-Loop tVNS for Musculoskeletal Injury and Disorders”, 2019-2021, Phase 1: $694k, Phase 2: $577k, PIs: OT Inan, M Etemadi)

2016-2020    Prepared the following deliverables for the DARPA Targeted Neuroplasticity Training (TNT) Program: quarterly reports, six-week progress teleconference materials, and PI meeting materials. Attended conference calls for all progress materials for communication of research with program officers.
