This workshop is designed as an introduction to grant writing for faculty who have little or no experience writing a peer-reviewed grant application. This workshop is designed to help participants strategize for and prepare effective grant proposals and includes strategies for writing applications, identifying available federal and foundation grants, types of grants & activity codes (i.e., R01, T32, F30), and grant submission procedures, including working with your business manager and Office of Research Services. An overview of the grant proposal components will be discussed, including Specific Aims, Biosketch, Budget, Facilities and Other resources, Resource Sharing, Data Management Plan, and Letters of Collaboration.
January
Research Café- Specific Aims Workshop
Registration required
January 12, 2022, 12 - 1 pm
Lion's Building-6th Floor- Conference Room # 7
Facilitators: TBA
The Specific Aims workshop is offered to those who are actively developing grant applications.
Applicants will be asked to provide an NIH-formatted biosketch and a draft version
of their Specific Aims page prior to the workshop. These drafts will be distributed
for review and critique. Workshop participants will present their Aims (2 slides)
and then discuss with the review panel changes to wording and experimental design.
This workshop provides attendees with valuable feedback prior to submission to the
NIH.
February
Research Café- Research Strategy
February 9, 2022, 12 - 1 pm
Lion's Building-6th Floor- Large Lecture Room
Facilitators: TBA
This workshop will focus on the bulk of the research project and grant application.
The focus will be placed on 1) hypothesis and research design to answer a research
question, data analysis, and the use of human subjects and vertebrate animals, and
2) organization of this research for NIH submission into the three subsections of
Significance, Innovation and Approach, and address Rigor and Reproducibility.
March
Research Café - Biosketch, Budget and budget justification workshop
March 9, 2022, 12-1 pm
Lion's Building-6th Floor- Large Lecture Room
Facilitators: TBA
This workshop will provide participants with guidelines on how to write biosketches
for NIH, NSF, and other funding agencies, create a budget, and a budget justification.
Facilitating the collaboration between participants, their departmental business manager,
and the Office of Research Services will be discussed.
April
Research Café - Mock Study Section
Registration required.
April 13, 2022, 12 - 1 pm
Lion's Building-6th Floor- Large Lecture Room
Facilitators: TBA
This Mock Study Section will simulate an NIH Review Panel in every detail possible. Participants will review NIH applications and participate in formal discussion and review of the grants. Panelists are not expected to critically judge the scientific merit of their assigned grants but whether the science described is logical, clearly described and meets the review criteria. At the end of the session, participants will have an opportunity to compare their critiques with the NIH reviews.
