COURSE DESCRIPTION

This new course uses distance learning, leveraging the Blackboard platform, includes didactic and experiential learning activities and personalized individual assistance to guide the investigator in the preparation of a R-level grant application. Researchers will develop skills for developing clear, effective, and fundable grants, including the key components of NIH and NSF proposals. Participants will proceed through the course at their own pace, but with a maximum time of 20 weeks for course completion. At the completion of the course, participants will have constructed the major components of a grant proposal for submission to NIH or another funding source.
