Grant Workshop is Filled!  - May 8, 2008.

Please join us on Wednesday May 28th for the 2008 SAEM Pre-day Intensive Grant Writing Workshop.  This year the workshop will be held for the first time on the NIH campus, giving applicants an opportunity to become familiar with what is often times little more than an email address.

Faculty include national leaders in emergency medicine research, each with extensive experience in obtaining foundation and federal funding, and representatives from the NIH will be on hand to discuss strategies for first time applicants trying to engage federal agencies.

The morning session will cover key elements of successful grant writing that include refining scientific questions, common pitfalls in grant submissions, and understand the review process of both common foundations (including EMF and SAEM) and the federal government.

The afternoon session will involve detailed discussion of three grants that were not accepted on their first submission but subsequently received extramural support. These will include a foundation career development grants, an NIH clinical scientist training grant (K23), and a laboratory-based R01.  These grants will be focused in three different areas; health service research, clinical research, and basic science research for a broader understanding of the composition of various grants.  Specific attention will be given to the process of project development and, importantly, the process of resubmission.

There is the also the possibility for individual mentoring following the
pre-day workshop to assist grant-writers with an unfunded proposal.  These sessions will be handled on a one-to-one, ad hoc basis.  Interested individuals should contact us.

Breakfast and lunch will be served.
