About Amy

Amy Myrbo helps STEM faculty get more grants. Building exceptional Broader Impacts, incorporating robust evaluation of success, and “red team” pre-review allow your team to focus on the scientific content of your proposal. Meaningful diversity, outreach, education, and evaluation are within the reach of every team and budget, when we think creatively and consider our strengths and values.

Amy draws on 17 years’ experience building two National Science Foundation-funded multi-user facilities at the University of Minnesota, including five years as a Director of Outreach, Diversity, and Education. Her unusual combination of a B.A. in English Lit and a Ph.D. in Geology is ideal for sharpening grant proposals and communicating science.

She is honored to be a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee, and to serve on the Board of the EarthLife Consortium Foundation. Amy is a Fellow of the University of Minnesota Institute on the Environment, former Chair of the Geological Society of America (GSA) Limnogeology Division, and an occasional employee of the Science Museum of Minnesota. She lives in Minneapolis and volunteers year-round at a horse rescue, wrestling hay bales and picking up poop.
