Grants Course
MTR 623 -Writing an NIH Grant
Course Description:
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the grant writing process. Participants will be provided detailed information on each aspect of NIH grants: fundamentals of good grant writing, general preparation of grant application (e.g. specific aims, research strategy, budgets, analysis of reviews and strategies of rebuttal and re-application), identifying RFAs, study sections, program officers and Scientific Review Officers (SROs), research strategy and detailed descriptions of the different types of funding mechanisms (R01, R21, Ks ). This is a writing course. This means that you will be drafting, revising, and working one-on-one with your fellow students and the course director to improve your proposal. At the end of the course, participants will have the necessary foundation for a submission consisting of the Specific Aims, Significance, and Innovation.
