How to Write a Successful Grant: Step by Step Guide

Workshop Schedule

Spring/Summer 2023 Workshop Schedule and Structure
(May through August, Wednesday afternoons, 3:30 - 5:30pm) via zoom.

Participants must send their assigned grant sections to the leader and fellow participants by Monday at 10:30 am, for discussion that week at the next Wednesday class. Students review each otherâ€™s grant sections according to assignments as primary or secondary reviewer at each session. The workshop leader will review all submissions each week and comment. The mock study section is an event at which scholars review assigned completed grants. Participants may schedule individual sessions with leaders if the need arises. Submission of the completed grant to NIH and the score is the key evaluation of the workshop and the scholar.
