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, call 410-502-2804 or e-mail jhmipdo@jhmi.edu. Space is limited to 40 registrants.
