Research Grant Writing for Public Health-Part A

Catalog description

PHP 2090A is the first in a two-course sequence that enables students to gain hands-on experience in creating high-quality, competitive public health research grant applications. The sequence will focus on writing training- and early-career applications tailored to the National Institutes of Health (e.g., F- and K-series grants). In PHP 2090A , students will draft their specific aims with guidance from their mentor(s), obtain foundational knowledge about the NIH grant submission process, learn about the peer review process, understand the content of NIH grant sections, and develop the foundations of their full grant proposals. They will do this through directed readings, pre-recorded lectures, assignments, instructor-led seminars, and consultation with their primary academic mentors. In PHP 2090B , students will develop a full proposal and receive peer and faculty feedback on it.
