The NIH Center for
Scientific Review (CSR) will host four Meet the Experts in NIH Peer Review
Webinars in early November 2014 to give new NIH grant applicants and others
useful insights into the submission and peer review processes. CSR is the
portal for NIH grant applications and their review for scientific and technical
merit. Each webinar will focus on a different type of NIH Grant Application and
will be presented by five CSR/NIH Experts.
This two-day symposium and optional workshop day is geared to extramural
research administrators and new investigators wanting to learn more
about the NIH grants application and award processes. Attendees can participate in
sessions to learn about the latest in tools and resources for applying
for funding and managing their award [for example, electronic Research
application (eRA) systems], relevant NIH & HHS policies, special
programs and initiatives, as well as topics such as animals and humans
in research, data sharing & invention reporting, developing a
biosketch & using sciENcv to apply for NIH grants, small business
and loan repayment programs, research integrity, financial conflict of
interest, compliance, and much more. Register and learn more at http://regionalseminars.od.nih.gov/sandiego2015/.
