* Writing F31 grant applications retreat *

Dear Graduate Students,


The Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries and Dartmouth GrantGPS are pleased to
sponsor a writer’s retreat in support of graduate students writing F31
grant applications.

Did you recently write your qualifying exam in the format of an NIH F31?


Are you planning to submit your proposal to the NIH for funding
consideration, but want to make it more competitive?

The retreat will be held January 25 (8:00am- 5:15pm) and January 26(9:00am-
5:00pm), and supplemented with three one-day sessions being held
February 9, February 23, and March 9. The retreat and all subsequent
sessions will be held at the Matthews-Fuller Health Sciences Library at
DHMC. 

The sessions will provide:
    Seminars on successful proposal writing
    Group feedback on Specific Aims
    Individual feedback on proposal from a grant writing specialist
    Peer feedback sessions
    Protected writing time
    Consultations on literature searching, NIH public access policy
compliance, citation management



This retreat is intended for graduate students in the process of writing
an NIH F31 grant application. It will include structured programming in
a small-group setting along with protected time for participants to
focus on writing their grant. It is expected that participants attend
both days of the retreat, and all subsequent sessions.

Who Should Attend?: Anyone in the process of preparing an NIH F31 grant
application. 
Cost: Thanks to generous support from Dartmouth Grant GPS, there is no
fee for participants. 

Application Deadline: December 11, 2017 by 5:00PM
How to Apply: Click here for more information and to apply. This is a
competitive application process. A professionally diverse cohort will be
selected from the applicants. Participants will be selected in order to
maximize their ability to learn from and with each other.

Advisor requirements: By December 11, 2017, your advisor must submit a
letter of support. The letter should confirm their commitment to
supporting your application, and must confirm their willingness to allow
you to attend the full length of the retreat and all subsequent sessions.
Advisors of selected participants will meet with Dean Madden to discuss
best practices for writing the letter of support to be included with
your NIH application. 

You will be notified by December 15 if you have been selected to
participate. If you are not selected to participate, you may have the
opportunity to attend a future offering of this program. 

Participation is limited to ten people. Selected participants will be
required to submit a one-page draft of their Specific Aims section two
weeks in advance of the retreat.
