Research Funding Service Grantwriting Workshop

The Research Funding Service is offering a grant writing workshop on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

This workshop is targeted toward junior faculty and senior postdoctoral fellows, however, any UW investigator will benefit. In this workshop we will review one NIH R01 grant in clinical research. If your field of research is outside of clinical or biomedical bench research, you may be better served by a later workshop, in which we will review a health services or behavioral science grant.

To register for this workshop, please follow the link to the RFS website:
http://healthlinks.washington.edu/rfs/gw/index.html.


If you can't attend this session, there will be additional grant writing workshops in the future. For questions, please email us at rfs@u.washington.edu or call 206.685.8036. Workshops are open to current faculty, staff, and students.

Grantwriting Workshop: NIH R01 Grants

There are still some openings in the Research Funding Service health services R01 grant writing workshop on Tuesday, March 18th from 8:00 a.m. to noon.

In this workshop we will cover general principles of grantsmanship, strategies for writing a winning grant proposal, and the psychology of grant review. To illustrate these principles, we will review a successful NIH R01 grant. The grant selected for this workshop is from the field of health services.

Questions often asked include: "Is this workshop right for me?" and "Will I get anything out of this workshop when my area of research is not the same as the sample grant?"

Answer: This workshop is targeted toward junior faculty and senior postdoctoral fellows, however, any UW investigator will benefit. Most of the workshop covers general principles that are applicable to all grant writers. The grant is critiqued against a checklist that the attendee can use later for his or her own grant, and the same checklist is appropriate for all R01 grants independent of topic.

To register for this workshop, please follow the link to the RFS website: http://healthlinks.washington.edu/rfs/gw/index.html. Once you register, you will receive a confirmation along with location and room information. If you can't attend this session, there will be an additional grant writing workshop later this spring.
