The webinar is scheduled for Aug. 16, 2011, at 12 p.m. in the auditorium on the first floor of the main library.
A 2010 NIH review of 45,000 applications identified the most common blunders and troublesome areas in its applications. This pragmatic webinar will present strategies for breaking your final grant application review into four specific areas. These tactics will improve your chances of funding by submitting the best possible application, especially if you presented it a few days before the deadline. And although the focus will be on NIH, these approaches apply to other agencies' applications as well.
Key Webinar Take-Aways:
* Top 10 most common errors on NIH applications
* Awareness of your application's most error-prone sections
* Four-part strategy for reviewing your proposal before final submission
* Prioritized checklist of what is most important/necessary to review
* Window for corrections on applications submitted days before the deadline
