Event

Early career investigators are faced with a challenging research funding climate. In order to succeed in obtaining support, they must have a clear understanding of funding mechanisms available and how to navigate the application process in order to excel with innovative proposals. A NIH official, a representative from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, two highly experienced, internationally recognized senior scientists, and a recently awardee investigator will review and discuss available career development grant opportunities with particular focus on K-awards, private grant mechanisms and international funding options. This will be followed by Questions and Answers.. We will also provide an information booklet with a brief overview of international grant details, deadlines, and resources for locating funding. This proposal builds upon highly successful grantsmanship workshops organized by RSF in 2012 and 2014 that focused on the review process of applications.
