In collaboration with Associate Professor Tammy Donahue (ME-EM) and Chair Jason Carter (Exercise Science), Sponsored Programs will host a Lunch and Learn on the NIH Individual Graduate Fellowship Opportunity–Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award NRSA.
The session is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday, March 15, in Memorial Union Ballroom A-1.
Graduate students and faculty will learn who should apply, what is involved in preparing an application, specific tips for writing a successful NRSA and an inside perspective on the criteria which reviewers use to evaluate applications.
This session will focus on an explanation of the different NRSA funding mechanisms, an understanding of the role of institutes in funding decisions, and how to determine if NIH is a good fit for interested applicants, or if NSF or others are better
Specific proposal development tips will be given on the four main proposal components: candidate qualifications, training plan, mentor statement and research plan.
To register for the event, see lunch and learn.
