Planning to apply for an NIH F award? Evaluators assess numerous sections including the researcher's specific aims, a biographical sketch, a goals statement, an institutional selection statement... and then there is still the actual research proposal! With so many pieces to compose, students can feel lost as to how to best present themselves and what information needs to be conveyed. This presentation on February 9th will walk you through the many pieces of this application and prepare you to craft a winning application.

Evaluators score NIH award proposals on five areas. The areas assess numerous sections including the researcher's specific aims, a biographical sketch, a goals statement, an institutional selection statement... and then there is still the actual research proposal! With so many pieces to compose, students can feel lost as to how to best present themselves and what information needs to be conveyed.

This NIH F Awards Success Series presentation will break down the various components of an F award application. In doing so, attendees will learn not only what these sections are but also how to write them to earn a good score. This information is essential as the NIH is primed to reward applications in ways unique to its ideology. Let us walk you through this style of writing and prepare you to craft a winning application.

Free pizza will be served!

When: Wednesday, February 9th, 5-7:00 PM (PST)
