Episode 21: The Heart Behind the Grants — A Conversation with Dr. Rain Masa (Part 2)

Dr. Trenette Season 1 Episode 21

Grant Writing Made Clear.

We’re back with Part 2 of my inspiring conversation with NIH-funded researcher, Dr. Rain Masa. In this episode, we go even deeper, unpacking what it means to write grants with a good strategy, especially when the stakes are high and the work spans the globe.

Rain shares his hard-earned wisdom on writing successful grant proposals and navigating rejections. If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the “why” behind your work, this episode is for you.

In Part 2, you’ll learn:

  • How to bounce back from grant rejections with clarity and confidence
  • Why building community in academia can fuel both impact and joy

Whether you dream of leading NIH-funded studies or just want to feel less alone in your grant writing journey, this episode offers both practical advice and soulful encouragement.
