Scientific Proposals

Catalog description

This course is designed to guide students in the development of an F31 - Kirschstein NRSA grant application. The course is heavily weighted in writing and peer assessment of grant proposals. By the end of the course, students will be expected to have completed the Specific Aims page and Research Plan sections of the F31 application. For thesis students, the application must be focused on the student’s approved research prospectus and build upon current research in the student’s thesis laboratory. Student's without an approved research prospectus, part-time extramural thesis students and non-thesis graduate students will develop a grant application focused on a research project of interest.
