Professional Development Opportunities for Trainees & Early Stage Investigators:

 

Understanding NIH Grants – Virtual Seminar 6/29/23
The DCI Office for Cancer Research Training and Education Coordination invites trainees to a virtual seminar with NCI Program Director Dr. Grace Ault on Thursday, June 29 at 4pm. Dr. Ault will discuss the mechanics of how things work at NIH, including:

 

  • How the NIH is structured to handle grant applications
  • What people in various roles at NIH do and who to talk to
  • Issues concerning how grants are reviewed  

 

Early stage investigators and junior faculty will find the information valuable, though postdocs and graduate students may also gain useful insights for future planning.

 

Registration is required in advance of the session here.
