Trainee Forum—Writing Winning Grants.

Abstract

This year, the 2012 Trainee Forum will take the form of a grant writing workshop, to be held Sunday, 12 August, from 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Have you wondered how grant applications are reviewed? Would you like information that will help you write more competitive proposals? Then don't miss the opportunity to participate in a mock grant review study section immediately prior to the 2012 SSR meeting. Drs. Susan Taymans, Stuart Moss, and Gary Hunnicutt will help demystify the NIH grant review process, discussing K99, R03, and R01 grants. Dr. Taymans is the Program Director of Reproductive Genetics and Epigenetics, and Basic Ovarian Biology at NICHD and the co-chair of NICHD's Training Policy Committee. Dr. Moss is the Program Director of Male Reproductive Health at NICHD and has served as a Scientific Review Officer (SRO). Dr. Hunnicutt is the SRO of the Cellular, Molecular and Integrative Reproduction (CMIR) study section in the Center for Scientific Review at NIH. In addition to this comprehensive mock review, Dr. Dori Woods, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School/Mass General Hospital at the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology, will give a brief presentation about the NIH Loan Repayment Program granting mechanism. This event is FREE for meeting attendees, but you must register for the NIH Grant Workshop on the SSR Registration form to reserve a space.
