Grant Writing for Clinical Research

Catalog description

To become independent researchers, students will need to write many grants for external funding. The primary purpose of this course will be for students to experience the full range of grant writing, from review of funding opportunities with a focus on patient- or population-based samples, to forming the research question, preparing, and submitting the grant. Most students are expected to write an F31 application to various NIH-institutions, but other training grant opportunities may be chosen according to the topic of interest. In addition, strategies to get involved in high dimensional or big data will be emphasized, such as human genome data, EMR data, and MARKETSCAN data.
