Description

The session will answer the question: How is your NIH submitted grant reviewed and scored? Dr. Martin and Dr. Amory will review how an NIH Study Section works and evaluates your grant, with specific emphasis on the importance of stating a clear hypothesis and the five main sections of the proposal. A better understanding of how grants are evaluated can inform your grant writing process and help clearly communicate your ideas to reviewers, maximizing your changes of receiving funding.
