Are
you a researcher, new or early career scientist, or research administrator
interested in learning more about applying for NIH grants, mapping your career
with NIH, or managing NIH awards? Consider attending one of the 2016 NIH Regional Seminars on
Program Funding and Grants Administration in Baltimore, MD (May
11-13) or Chicago, IL
(October 26-28). More than 60 NIH and HHS policy, review, program, and grants
management officials will be on hand to share the latest updates and guidance
on NIH-wide programs, policies, and updates on the NIH grants process, all in a central location. In addition
to 45 different topics provided during the seminar, attendees have the
opportunity to have 15 minute chats with NIH and HHS staff during the “1:1
Meet the Experts.” There is no limit to the number of staff members you
can meet with during the 2-day seminar. In the post-seminar
evaluations, attendees often note that these opportunities were some of the
most valuable activities at the NIH Regional Seminar.
During
the 2-day seminar, topics range from finding the right funding opportunity
and understanding the NIH peer review process, to pre- and post-award
management and compliance issues. You can also learn
about the latest in tools and resources for applying for funding and
managing their award [for example, electronic Research application (eRA)
systems]. Special topic areas include humans and animals in research,
intellectual property, rigor & reproducibility, and developing a
biosketch. There are also sessions provided on the small business and loan
repayment programs, research integrity, financial conflict of interest,
compliance, and so much more.
An
optional pre-seminar workshop day is also offered to focus in-depth on: human
research protections (5.5 CME credits), research administration, electronic
Research Administration (eRA) systems, or–new this year–intellectual property.
If
you are new to working with NIH, train others at your institution, or maybe
just in need of a brush-up on NIH funding and grant policy-related topics–you’ll find this a great opportunity to learn from NIH and HHS staff, as
well as from approximately 600 of your peers from around the globe. Take
a look at the NIH Regional
Seminar home page for links to both seminars (agendas, registration, hotel
specifics, and Listserv information).
