Strategic guidance for investigators, research programs, and institutions navigating the increasingly complex landscape of modern science. We help scientists translate expertise into strategic research programs, competitive funding opportunities, meaningful collaborations, and sustainable careers.

Leadership

Dr. Frederick TysonFormer NIH Program Director

Tyson Research and Strategic Consulting is led by Dr. Frederick Tyson, a former NIH Program Director who understands scientific research from both the investigator and the funding and program perspective.

That dual vantage point shapes every engagement: how a research question is framed, how a program is built, how a proposal reads to reviewers, and how a scientific career is sustained over decades rather than grant cycles.
