Securing research funding takes more than just good
science – it requires that you conceptualize and prepare
a highly competitive research proposal. This workshop provides an overview of NIH grant mechanisms and
discusses the role of the Center for Scientific Review. Additional topics include how to select the best institute
and study section for your science, what are NIH criteria
for evaluation, what are recommended timelines, the structure of an application, and proven strategies for success.
