Please join us for the next NRMN Career Development Webinar on Wednesday,
November 29th from 1-2pm(CT)/2-3pm(ET).
 
The ability to write successful grant applications for extramural
support is now more important than ever, especially with regard to
funding the research training and career development of graduate
students and post-doctoral fellows. This webinar will address best
practices for effective grantsmanship, approaches for competitive
applications, common mistakes made by junior investigators, and tips to
increase chances for success. The focus will be on NIH’s individual
fellowships for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Topics that
will be discussed include key required application components, specific
content that should be included when completing these sections, and NIH’s
fellowship grant review process, scoring system, and review criteria.
