A research strategy is not just about experiments, but how you think about solving the problems raised. To successfully meet the requirements of the research strategy component of the NIH grant you must provide a clear picture of your research and its impact, how you will overcome challenges and what you hope to accomplish. Learn how by joining grant writing expert, Dr. Dorothy Lewis, during her Live Webinar.

In many ways your Abstract is one of the most important parts of your grant application. It reaches a broader audience than just your reviewers. In fact, it becomes a permanent description of your project, accessible to the general public, the press, politicians and taxpayers. Join your expert presenter as she will teach you how to write for every possible reader and draw attention to the importance of your research.

This is more than a simple biography of the Principal Investigator. There are ways you can creatively use this area to increase your chances to successfully obtain your needed funding. Learn how by joining this live Webinar.

If your proposal involves using human subjects, you must upload several separate documents indicating who will be involved, why, how they will be impacted and your rationale for including them. Join your expert presenter so you can be sure to include enough information so reviewers will have no questions about what you propose to do.

One of the core criteria National Institutes of Health (NIH) reviewers use to score your grant application is the Environment in which you perform the research. They want to ensure you will have the resources — meaning the institutional support, equipment and physical items — you need to successfully complete your proposed investigation. Convince reviewers by using the must-have tactics you will receive during this live Webinar.

One of the most challenging questions posed by the NIH short form is, “How much money do you think you need to do the proposed work?” This open-ended inquiry can be a minefield for PIs who’ve struggled with the budget section before. If you indicate a number on the lower end, the reviewers may think you can’t plan adequately or accommodate unforeseen setbacks. If you’re number seems too high, the panel may think you’re trying to “game the system.” So exactly, how do you determine your budget, and what do you say about it?

You’ve spent weeks, perhaps months, completing your grant application, and you think it’s perfect. No misspellings or bad grammar. No math errors in the budget. But before you submit it, you need to give it a final look — like an airline pilot doing a flight check before takeoff. Why? You may have made a mistake you’re not even aware of. A 2010 NIH review of 45,000 applications identified the most common blunders and troublesome areas in its applications.

This pragmatic Webinar will present strategies for breaking your final grant application review into four specific areas. These tactics will improve your chances of funding by submitting the best possible application, especially if you presented it a few days before the deadline. And although the focus will be on NIH, these approaches apply to other agencies’ applications as well.

In this Webinar Series, each Webinar completely covers one important facet of the NIH grant application process, and the series presents seven different — and equally significant — facets. To ensure the most comprehensive benefit, and the most economical per-session price, buy the “ Series” package.  You, however can select one or more individual sessions if that alternative best suits your needs. Each Webinar is complete unto itself for the facet it covers.
