The workshop is geared toward senior graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and junior faculty. It will be led by faculty who have successful track records of writing proposals and many hours of study section service.
The session will include introductory talks about how the NIH is structured as well as discussion of the various components of an R01 proposal from the viewpoints of both basic science and clinical research. The agenda also includes discussion of career development awards and how to interpret summary statements and respond to reviews.
Panelists include Profs. Thomas Buchanan, Lynn Snyder-Mackler, Stuart Binder-Macleod and Randall Duncan.
“We really want to encourage junior faculty to attend this workshop,” says Prof. Jill Higginson, who is coordinating the program. “Our panel of very experienced senior faculty has a great deal of wisdom and practical knowledge to share about how to successfully navigate the grant writing process.”
The event is organized by the Center for Biomedical Engineering Research and the Delaware Rehabilitation Institute.
Light refreshments will be served. There is no charge for the workshop, but registration is required, and space is limited.
