Crafting Effective Health Research Grant Proposals.

Catalog description

In this course students will apply their foundational knowledge of scientific theory, methods and analysis to design a research proposal. They will generate ideas and drafts of the Specific Aims, Significance, Innovation, and Methods sections of the proposal. While students are encouraged to search and apply for NIH and non-NIH grants, the course will focus on the NIH research proposal since it is the major funding source for health-related biomedical research. The final product will include a full draft of the research plan for an NIH F31 grant proposal or equivalent (e.g., foundation grant, K99).
