The Art and Science of Writing K08 or K23 Career Development Grant Applications
60 Minute On-Demand Webinar. Available in CD, MP4 or PDF Transcript.
Writing for a mentored career development award isn’t hard … once you know all the tricks of the trade. Nonetheless, it is definitely an art. You have to stand out from the crowd and put your best foot forward. There are definite strategies you can use to successfully present yourself, your mentor, your environment, and your career development plans, among others. Second best won’t get you funded. You must convince the NIH that you are worthy of the taxpayers’ money. If you think you are worthy, then convincing the NIH should be easy … with a little help.
This uniquely focused webinar will cover the specifics of K08 and K23 awards, the reasons why you should apply, the importance of a good mentor, where you will need help, and what happens after you submit your application.
