In this lecture, you will learn about the NIH and be introduced to strategies for grant preparation and submission using the R01 grant as a model. First, we will give you a glimpse of NIH funding, an introduction to the structure of the NIH, and of the overall grant application and review processes. Strategies for preparing an R01 proposal will be presented.聽</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://lecture.ucsf.edu/ets/Play/a1cbefa182f94ade986da4ee66b791a21d">Video of lecture and faculty panel</a> (starts at 05:28)</li> </ul> </div> <h3>Writing Clear and Compelling Specific Aims</h3> <div class="calloutleftnavy"> <p>Grant proposals are complex pieces of persuasive writing that require considerable skill to produce. The specific aims section is a particularly critical component. These slides聽briefly introduce the general structure of a scientific grant proposal (primarily for the basic and biomedical sciences) and聽then focus on how to draft and refine your specific aims, by first analyzing sample specific aims and then revising your own. You will learn strategies for writing clearly and succinctly that聽can be applied to grant/fellowship proposals for聽various funding agencies.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/sites/g/files/tkssra2771/f/PDF/ResearchersSlidesSpecificAims.pdf">Writing a Clear and Compelling Specific Aims Section lecture slides</a></li> <li><a href="/sites/g/files/tkssra2771/f/PDF/ResearchersHandoutSpecificAims.pdf">Handout</a></li> </ul> </div> <h3>Preparing a K99/R00 Award Application</h3> <div class="calloutleftnavy"> <p>The K99/R00 grant, also called the Pathway to independence Award, provides funding for the last 1-2 years of your postdoctoral research training, followed by transitional funding for up to 3 years once you obtain an independent research position. This funding mechanism is open to U.S. citizens and international postdocs. Although聽this training award is similar in many ways to other K awards, some distinct characteristics make it a different beast. In this session, a panel of UCSF faculty members who have served on K99/R00 study sections (this is what review panels are called) talk about what makes a fundable K99 proposal and what not to do. Additionally, a panel of K99 and R00 awardees will share tips and lessons learned.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://lecture.ucsf.edu/ets/Play/7b6054c0211249c0915a5a6dabc01e121d">Video of the faculty and awardee panel</a></li> <li><a href="/sites/g/files/tkssra2771/f/PDF/ResearchersSlidesK99R00Panelists.pdf">Slides from the panelists</a></li> </ul> </div> <h3>International Postdocs: Finding Funding and Grant Writing Tips</h3> <div class="calloutleftnavy"> <p>Pivot is one of the most comprehensive searchable funding opportunities databases available, with approximately 40,000 opportunities that are private, federal and international in nature.

It is also an opportunity to get peer reviewed and increase your exposure to all who will look at your work. These slides聽feature an overview of how to develop a competitive fellowship application for the NIH F30 and F31 fellowships.
