For more than a decade, Dr. Jude Mikal has provided one-on-one consultations to faculty and investigative teams in the areas of project development, research design, and grant development. Researchers generally come to Mikal with early drafts of their specific aims page, proposal narrative, or proposed plan for re-submission, and he provides feedback from the vantage point of an educated non-expert.

In addition to providing support in proposal development and project design, Mikal is an expert in qualitative research methods, transition-related stress, and the impact of online social interaction on mental and physical well-being.
