Scientific Grant Writing I

Catalog description

The first of two scientific grant writing courses offered to nursing PhD students, this course is designed to give students an overview of scientific grant writing, including its purpose, how to identify granting agencies, componenets of a research proposal, grant timetables, grantmanship, as well as the peer review process and scoring. Students will participate in a mock peer-review of pre-assigned examples of grant submissions. Following these introductory presentations, faculty will mentor students in developing the initial components of a pre-doctoral grant application, including the candidate history, training plan, investigator biosketches, letters of support, budget and key personnel, scientific literature review, and the significance and innovation sections. After completing these components, faculty will mentor students in outlining and drafting the initial sections of the research proposal, including the specific aims page, approach/methods/analysis sections.
