This workshop is targeted to new/junior faculty who have not yet applied to the NIH or who are not familiar with the NIH grant application process. This 1.5 day, examples-driven workshop is designed to help junior faculty understand how to plan, organize and write a competitive grant application.  The focus of the workshop is on the new NIH grant application and review criteria; specifically, participants will learn how to develop an NIH grant application that addresses the new NIH review criteria. The following subjects will be covered: Writing a Competitive Research Grant; Developing a Budget; Understanding the NIH Peer-Review System; and Identifying Sources of Funding for Your Research.

 

NOTE: This workshop will identify changes to the NIH peer review and changes to the NIH research grant application (new page limit and organization).
