Write Winning NIH Grant Proposals
Virtual Workshops
January 8, 9, and 10, 2024
Presenter: John D. Robertson, Ph.D.
Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops, LLC*
SBU Faculty and Staff must Register before December 1, 2023
Workbooks will be purchased for Stony Brook participants by the OVPR.
The workshops will focus on two types of extramural funding pursuits:
Writing Winning NIH Proposals
Two half-day sessions:
-
- Monday, January 8, 2024, from 9 am to 12:30 pm
- Tuesday, January 9, 2024, from 9 am to 12:30 pm
Writing NIH Renewals and Resubmissions
One half-day session:
-
- Wednesday, January 10, 2024, from 9 am to 12:30 pm
These widely acclaimed must-attend workshops comprehensively address both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate institute, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers.
Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers, who may have read little or nothing of the proposal before the meeting of the study section. Strategies, tools, and tips designed to merit a fundable priority score are emphasized. The focus of this seminar will be on proposals for submission to all NIH institutes.
The half-day NIH Renewal and Resubmission workshop helps maximize the likelihood of success upon resubmission. Discussion will include NIH's resubmission policy and strategies related to triaged applications, common causes of resubmission success/failure, common mistakes to avoid, and how to seek and use input from the Program Officer and Scientific Review Officer in responding to the criticism received.
