How to Write a Grant

On December 7th , 2005, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is sponsoring a training workshop on the grant writing process presented by Dr. John Boothroyd, former Senior Associate Dean for Research and Training.

In this 90 minute class, we will examine the mechanisms of writing and assembling an NIH grant. Topics covered will be types of grants (K awards, training grants, research, etc.), structure of the NIH websites, funding agencies, and particularly, we will examine writing strategies and requirements for the research plan, the heart of the grant. Other topics will include the grant "surrounds" -- budget and its justification, research environment, biosketches, etc. Participants should come away with a better understanding of what it takes to write and assemble a major NIH grant.

Location: Munzer Auditorium
Date:Wednesday, December 7, 2005
Time: 1:00-2:30 P.M.
