Catalog description

PHP 2090B is the second 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. In PHP 2090B , students will develop a full NIH proposal (e.g., F- or K-series or R03/R21), provide feedback to and receive feedback from their peers on proposal documents, and obtain in-depth knowledge of how to design and conduct robust, rigorous, and impactful research studies. They will do this through directed readings, in-person lectures, assignments, and consultation with their primary academic mentors. Topics covered in the course will include basic statistical power calculations, presentation strategies, research misconduct and ethics, picking and managing mentors, and effective budgeting.
