Course Description

Your NIH submission did not go as planned. Now what? In this course, I will help you understand when you should consider a resubmission or not, and why. We walk through the decision-making involved: A1 or A0? Same NOFO, study section, IC, agency? When should you resubmit, and how will it affect ESI status? After heavy emphasis on planning and strategizing, we discuss effective strategies for writing the resubmission, particularly the all-important Introduction.

I wanted to express how beneficial the Master Resubmissions virtual course was for me. The insights and guidance provided significantly helped me prepare my R21 resubmission, especially in crafting the Introduction page.

In my initial A0 grant submission to the NCI, I received a 13th percentile score. After applying what I learned from your course, my A1 resubmission improved to a 5th percentile score and was funded.

Thank you for providing such a valuable resource. It has made a meaningful impact on my grant-writing journey.
