Our students have grown their skills by taking our courses. Here are just a few of their stories.
Optimize Your Funding Mechanism
Although I am familiar with most of the terminology and funding options- my knowledge came through my independent learning. The way these slides and training were organized with a broader view- the timing and the impact of each funding on the career was very innovative and eye-opening.
Parisa Lotfi MD,
Director of Connecticut Breast Imaging, Danbury Radiological Associates
Master the K Series
Very, very helpful. In particular the specific, detailed, and actionable recommendations regarding elements and language to include in the grant is invaluable.
Katharine Collier MD
Medical Oncology Fellow, Top 5 Largest Cancer Hospital
Checklist to Avoid Top Mistakes
I found this session incredibly helpful. As a less-experienced grant writer there are many tips that Meg provided that will help me address early barriers to getting my grant completed, including thoroughly vetting my ideas with POs/colleagues in other divisions/statisticians. Meg's presentation style is very direct and easy to follow.
Matthew Mefford PhD
Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiologist and Research Scientist
Integrated Managed Care Consortium
Optimize Your Funding Mechanism
I would recommend this training to my early career faculty and early career research administrators and research development practitioners for a basic and better understanding of the funding mechanisms available at the National Institutes of Health.
