The ORS Mentoring Committee is pleased to present the 6th Annual Grant Writing Workshop at the ORS Annual Meeting in New Orleans. The course is designed for new investigators in the process of writing their first grant proposals, and will include a mock study section so investigators can see what is involved in NIH peer review. Attendees are encouraged to submit a grant to the ORS office. Two grants, one initial and one revised, will be chosen for review during the mock study section. All faculty members have participated in an NIH study section.

The workshop will include introductory talks from NIAMS representatives, and discussions of each of the components of a R01 proposal from both a basic science and clinical research viewpoint. A mock study section will take place during lunch with faculty providing reviews. This will be followed by discussions of interpreting pink sheets, and what to do when you get your first grant.
