Winter Grant Development Workshops

As part of the RIMI faculty development component, a week-long NIH Grantwriting Workshop was offered to selected faculty (based on a competitive application process) during Winter break. (January 2,3,5,6,7,8) The workshops covered the basics of Pre/Post-award processes on our campus, an NIH Overview,  as well as preparing the proposal narrative and other components of an NIH application.  Other topics at the workshops included Human Subjects Compliance and Power Analysis and a "fun" workshop on how to maintain your sanity while preparing a proposal.   Faculty and staff conducted the week-long workshops.
