I have been asked by Dr. Kent Hermsmeyer, President of Dimera LLC, to post a
position.  He is a 30 year veteran of the NIH grant process who has now set
off on his own with a small business located in Portland, Oregon.  Funding
is from NIH under its Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program and
the Office of Naval Research (ONR).  I have provided consulting services to
Dimera but now the company needs a full-time person.  It is hard for us in
institutions to know just how difficult it is to seek, receive, perform and
manage even two or three grants.  Take a look at the position description
and, if you are weary of the institutional wars and would like to try your
hand at working with a small, very innovative company where the
opportunities are great, give Dr. Hermsmeyer a call and tell him I sent you
or you can contact me for more information.
