Only 6 weeks remain before the final 2012 NIH Regional Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration takes place in Washington, D.C. This is your opportunity to meet and discuss grant issues with NIH policy officers, grants management, review and program officials, as well as NIH senior leadership all in a central location!
Attendees will experience a comprehensive program that provides valuable information about the NIH grants process, including such topics as peer review, grant writing for success, pre-award and post-award issues for administrators and investigators, compliance, how to interact electronically with NIH, and how to map your career with NIH. In addition, this is an opportunity to network over the course of 2 days with over 600 grants administrators, researchers, students, financial officials, and grant writers from around the world.
Optional NIH Electronic Research Administration (eRA) computer workshops are offered the day prior to the 2-day seminar. These half-day workshops are designed for administrators and investigators, providing attendees with hands-on experience utilizing the eRA Commons and the overall electronic grants process. Space is limited!
The NIH Regional Seminars are intended for those new to the grants process, including sponsored project officers and departmental administrators, investigators, faculty, graduate students, etc. However, it is also an opportunity for those with more experience to obtain updates on grants policies and procedures.
