NIH R01 Proposal Development Workshop and Internet Course

UK faculty have a unique opportunity to participate in an interactive proposal development workshop on Nov. 5 and to receive password access to an NIH-funded Internet course not yet available to the general public.

Sponsored Program Development, the vice president for Research and the associate vice president for Research, Medical Center, are hosting this workshop for UK faculty on Monday, Nov. 5 from 12:30 to 5:00 p.m. The workshop is tailored for researchers who plan to submit competitive research proposals to NIH. The format involves a hands-on review of a proposal submitted by a team of UK researchers and provides an experience similar to the group dynamics of NIH study-section activities. Following the workshop, participants will have access to the NIH-funded Internet course developed by a multidisciplinary team at UK, headed by Don Frazier of the physiology department.

The hands-on nature of the workshop and the licensing restrictions of the course software limit our number of participants. The deadline for registration is October 17. Confirmation letters and the required reading material for the workshop will be hand-delivered shortly thereafter. To enroll, contact Laura Henry (257-2861, ljhenr0@uky.edu) or Jennifer Morgan (257-2978, jllutt1@uky.edu). If you have any questions, contact Margot McCullers in sponsored program development (mmcculle@uky.edu; 257-2861).
