[WTI-trainee] FW: JEDI awards

[Guerrero-Medina, Giovanna]

Hi everyone,

See below. If you have a draft manuscript (first or last author), short grant or job application in progress, this is a great program to get expert editor and science writer advice on how to improve it. The deadline to apply is September 10. The application is simple (CV, draft manuscript in progress, and brief personal info).
Dr. Brandi Mattson, who visited the WTI last year is one of the initiatives leaders.

Subject: JEDI awards
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all doing well and had a nice summer.

I just wanted to remind you that the upcoming JEDI award deadline is September 10th. Please feel free to circulate this info to your community:

The Life Science Editors Foundation offers Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion (JEDI) awards quarterly to scientists facing unfair obstacles to career progression, including but not limited to barriers based on gender, race, ethnicity, caregiving responsibilities, illness, ability, sexual orientation, low socioeconomic background, as well as people in a low or lower middle income country. The award provides input on a manuscript, short grant proposal or job application. The award will consist of:

Editor/Reviewer Perspective: We give you feedback on the content, pitch and narrative. Our volunteers use their insider knowledge of the peer review process to advise you. We read your document as a search committee, editor or reviewer would – highlight strengths, potential weaknesses, and areas that need work (background, rationale, importance, logic etc). We will offer suggestions on how to strengthen the document and improve the potential for a positive outcome. This feedback may or may not involve substantial editing of the document, depending on volunteer availability and expertise.

and/or

Language Edit: Our volunteer will edit your document, focusing on improving the readability, organization, clarity, spelling and grammar.

Thank you so much for your help!

Best,
Angela
