RCR: Developing Your NIH Aims & Research Strategy – and What Happens After Submission

Presented by Michelle Kienholz, CTSI.  

Understanding How to Make Your Case to Both Audiences: This workshop will focus on crafting the application narratives to address the stated review criteria as well as the rigor, reproducibility, and scientific merit of the research more broadly throughout. This session follows the material presented in NIH Resources & Personnel that Can Help You Get Funded (NIH online tools, program officers, funding opportunities) on March 27 and Planning Your NIH Grant Application for the Best Review Possible (selecting study section and new peer review framework) on April 8. The goal is to help you prepare competitive applications that address the needs and priorities of both the sponsor Institute or Center and the reviewers on the study section. We will also go through what happens during the first (study section) and second (Council) levels of review and the next steps once a summary statement has been issued. Bring questions you might have about the grant application and award process. (subject matter: peer review)
