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.
