Description

The Specific Aims page is a concise master plan for your research grant, and is one of the most important components of a grant proposal. In this session, participants will learn how to write each of the four critical sections of a Specific Aims page.

Pre-Work:

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own Specific Aims page from a grant proposal they have written, if available.  If not, sample Specific Aims pages will be provided. There will be an opportunity to assess these Specific Aims pages for the critical components, and identify areas for improvement.
