Suffice to say, the grant submission would not have happened without the amazing proposal development team at the CRA. I worked with the team to assemble multiple grant pieces, schedule meetings with various collaborators and stakeholders, and maintain a well-ordered set of tasks that each had very finite timelines in order to meet the overall grant deadline. Working with the CRA was like having extra sets of very talented eyes, ears, and hands to bring together a grant proposal submission that we were all proud of. Funded or not \u2026 I\u2019m excited to work with the CRA proposal development team again in the very near future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center\">&#8211; Joe Hart PhD, ATC<\/h4>\n<p class=\"testimonial-person-title\" style=\"text-align: center\">Professor and Vice Chair for Research<br \/>\nDepartment of Orthopaedics<br \/>\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\n<\/div><\/div>\n<script>\n\n    (function($) {\n        $(\"body, html\").addClass(\"heels_full_width_overflow\");\n    })(jQuery);\n\n   <\/script>\n   <div style=\"background-color:#13294B;\" class=\"full-width-contained whitebackground cra-footer\"><div class=\"row  oscitas-bootstrap-container\"><div class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-12 col-xs-12 col-sm-12 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<p>Get to Know Us<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"row  oscitas-bootstrap-container\"><div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/unccra\/the-cra-team\/\">Meet the Team <i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-right\" ><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/unccra\/careers\/\">Explore Careers <i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-right\" ><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/unccra\/collaborate-with-us\/\">Contact Us <i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-right\" ><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-xs-12 col-sm-6 oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/unc-clinical-research-alliance\/\">LinkedIn <i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-right\" ><\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":116266,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/front-page.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-3035","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
