This workshop will provide participants with an overview of NIH grant submission, assignment, review, and funding opportunities. Emphasis will be given to identifying suitable NIH funding agencies and mechanisms, how to make an application “reviewer friendly,” and other strategies that contribute to applications that succeed in obtaining research funding, with a focus on Research Project Grant (RPG) and training grant mechanisms. 

This workshop will delve into understanding the peer review system, which is essential to competing successfully for funding. Opportunities to serve as a reviewer will also be discussed. NIH review and program staff will provide a broad array of expertise and encourage questions from participants. This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more about preparing an NIH grant application and obtaining NIH funding. Trainees and independent investigators are welcome.
