An Investigators Guide to NIH Funding
Part 1: Deciphering NIH Funding for Beginners

60-Minute Live Webinar on Wed., Nov. 7th at 2:00 PM EST.
Also available in CD, MP4 and PDF Transcript.

You have decided to embark on a research career. Congratulations. Now you need to figure out what you should do first…and second…and third. You may be able to find a lot of great information online, so much in fact that it can get confusing to sort through it all. But what are the things you really should be focusing your time and effort on? What are the most important factors to consider as you embark on this life-altering (and rewarding) journey?

Consider this: writing a grant is one thing; there is a lot of available how-to information to help you there too, yet creating a new grant strategy to support your research is a totally different matter. This is where knowledge of the agency (NIH) and targeted funding opportunities can help you shape that strategy.

During Part 1 of this 2-Part Webinar series, you will navigate the NIH Institutes,
understand what a Principal Investigator is and how the agency works. This includes understanding the NIH’s do’s and don’ts, identifying funding opportunities that include new, training and career awards, best practices when dealing with the sponsored research office at your institution, and much more!

Important: this Webinar series has been designed for post docs, senior graduate students and others who have never been principal investigators before.

Who should attend this webinar?

People who are making the transition from postdoc to research investigator, early stage investigators seeking to shape a grant’s strategy, members of research teams including advanced graduate students seeking a deeper knowledge of grants, funding agencies and research careers. This is designed for applicants who have not successfully competed as a PI on a major NIH grant.

An Investigators Guide to NIH Funding
Part 2: Breaking Into NIH Funding and Beyond—A How-to Guide for New and Early Career Investigators

60-Minute Live Webinar on Wed., Nov. 14th at 2:00 PM EST.
Also available in CD, MP4 and PDF Transcript.

The NIH defines a New Investigator as “one who has not previously competed successfully as PI for a substantial NIH independent research award.” The NIH defines an Early Stage Investigator as “a New Investigator who has completed his or her terminal research degree or medical residency—whichever date is later—within the past 10 years and has not yet been awarded a substantial, competing NIH research grant.” Early stage investigators are an important subset of new investigators.

If you have completed your education within the last 10 years and wish to break into NIH funding in a significant way, here’s your chance. There are various NIH awards, including some lesser known types such as Pioneer Awards, Transformative Research Projects Awards and New Innovator Awards, which can help get your career started on the right foot. But given the highly competitive funding environment, what are the best options for you?

During this information-packed Webinar, your expert presenter will detail how to create a grant strategy to support your early stage research, identify New and Early Career funding options including R01s, training and career awards, guide you through establishing a relationship with a program officer to target opportunities, and much more!

Important: this Webinar was preceded separately by Part 1, which described the most important factors to consider for those embarking on a research career. That Webinar is designed for post docs, senior graduate students and others who have never been principal investigators before. This specific Webinar, Part 2, focuses on New and Early Stage Investigators.

Who should attend this webinar?

New and Early Stage investigators seeking to shape a grants strategy and identify opportunities for funding. New investigators who wish a deeper understanding of the NIH and its funding mechanisms.

Registration and Price:

BONUS! Purchase the Live Webinar for only $197 $129 and receive a *FREE recording of the same in your preferred format: CD, MP4 or PDF Transcript.

*Live attendance is NOT required to receive your Free recording.

5 Key take-Aways:

  • How to create
    a research strategy that uses grants as a support mechanism
  • Increasing funding probability through classification as an Early Stage investigator
  • Sources of guidance for investigators early in their careers
  • Targeting institutes and initiatives that may have a statistically better funding rate
  • What reviewers evaluate for, the scoring system and the decision matrix
