Grant Writing Workshop
The Professional Development Office at JHMI is sponsoring a
two-day grant-writing workshop, open only to junior
faculty. All participants must attend the first session,
which is designed to assist first-time applicants with
writing an NIH or other peer-reviewed research proposal.
The workshop focuses on the NIH research plan, including
the abstract and specific aims, background and
significance, preliminary studies, and research design and
methods. This session will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
on Tuesday, Dec. 9, in the West Room of the Turner
Building.
The second part of the workshop consists of small
group discussions of participants' abstracts and specific
aims. Participants will choose one of three dates —
Jan. 12, 13 or 15, 2004 — for this session, which is
scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the 1830 Building,
room 2-108. One week prior to the second session,
participants must submit a draft of their abstract and
specific aims. In addition to discussing these sections of
the application in small groups, all participants will
receive a written critique of their abstract and specific
aims from the course instructor, Wendy Sanders, director of
the Professional Development Office and a member of the
School of Medicine faculty. To register for the workshop,
