This workshop is designed to assist faculty with preparing an NIH or other peer-reviewed grant application. The workshop consists of two parts: a 1 day didactic session on November 16, followed by small discussion sessions, during which participants use what they have learned to critique two key components of their own applications, the abstract and specific aims. The didactic session focuses on the nature of the federal grant process. Course faculty will explain how to write a competitive NIH application, including how to develop a budget and budget justification. What are the different parts of NIH involved in funding? How do you choose the right type of grant? Why must you talk to a program officer, and how do you find one? Participants use examples from funded as well as unsuccessful grant applications to learn the criteria reviewers use in evaluating applications. In addition, this session covers the following relevant subjects: Choosing a "fundable" research problem; the NIH system of peer review; and mechanisms of particular interest to new investigators. As NIH converts to online submission, the Grantcraft course will address navigating the electronic submission process. The second part of the workshop consists of small discussion sessions, during which participants carry out "mock reviews" of two critical components of a grant: the abstract and specific aims. Five days prior to their discussion session, participants submit a draft of their abstract and specific aims. In addition to receiving a "mock review" of their abstract and specific aims, participants receive feedback from the course directors, Dr. Peter Maloney and Dr. Donna Vogel.
