This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to write a successful grant application. There will be a particular focus on federal grant writing with emphasis on K-series and Career Development awards. Although the course will emphasize the skills involved in crafting the research component part of an NIH mentored research, the process of identifying and applying to Foundations and private industry for supplemental funds will also be covered. Students will also be introduced to the NIH procedures of electronic grant submissions and will gain experience in critiquing proposals using NIH grant reviewer criteria. This is a participatory course in which readings, lectures and assignments will be geared toward student production of a full grant proposal that has been peer reviewed by both class members and faculty experts. This is a 3-unit course that will be conducted in a workshop format. Attendance and participation at all class sessions is expected.
