Dr. Eve Granatosky combines her scientific background and first-hand experience in the federal government to help clients achieve their advocacy goals. She leverages her in-depth knowledge of federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other agencies supporting research in the health and life sciences, to support clients in relationship-building, competing for funding opportunities, and shaping emerging programs. Beyond her core expertise in biomedical research, Eve also assists researchers and research organizations with interdisciplinary priorities, builds connections across agencies, and provides unique insights into policies and opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked. As a trained scientist and former Hill staffer, she has an appreciation for the nuances of research, policy, and politics, empowering her to effectively represent client interests across the federal science landscape.
