This popular course is offered for new investigators to learn the art of grant writing. This course is ideal for investigators who are in the process of writing their first grant proposal. Experts will offer strategies for writing a compelling Aims page, developing a strong approach to test an exciting hypothesis, using preliminary data and supporting documents to present a cohesive final grant proposal. A mock study section provides a first-hand look at what is involved in NIH peer review. Lunch and a post-course networking reception are included in the registration fee.
