Write Winning NIH Grant Proposals

Seminar:

Write Winning NIH Grant Proposals

When:

Wednesday, February 28, 2018 • 8:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Where:

NIEHS Main Campus, Rodbell ABC

Speaker:

John Robertson, Ph.D., Associate Member, Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC

Description:

This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. It is designed for postdoctoral fellows who have had some exposure to writing grant applications, and it emphasizes NIH funding mechanisms that are of greatest interest to the audience. Emphasis is also given to such things as idea development, how to write for reviewers and/or with appropriate K-Award “spin,” and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers. The seminar will address how to cope with the relatively recent changes that NIH has made in how grant proposals are written and reviewed. Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers, who may read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies designed to merit a fundable priority score are provided.

*All participants receive an extensive Powerpoint handout and a copy of 'The Grant Application Writers Workbook'
