Course Description

The PHS Human Subjects & Clinical Trial Information Form is crucially important to application success. I will assess the available NIH resources and provide tips and tricks for gray-area situations. A wide array of sample text from recent applications will accompany the step-by-step instructions. I will conclude with an FAQ and a description of the mistakes I most commonly see reviewers identify in the design and writing of these projects. I will help you write a winning application for your human subjects research.
