NIH for International Institutions: Best Practices, Application Tips, and NIH RePORTER
Thursday, August 10 | Meet at the Terrace Level of the Washington Hilton Hotel. Campus: 1140 Biology-Psychology Building, 4094 Campus Drive, College Park, MD
This workshop delivered by the University of Maryland’s administrative training program, Borderless Research Administration Knowledge Exchange (BRAKE), will provide strategies and practical takeaways for international institutions on managing compliance during pre-award and post-award for NIH grants. Participants will learn about NIH’s funding mechanisms, scientific review, submission requirements, and pre- and post- award issues. We will provide resources to share with your investigators on parts of the proposal, including what NIH wants in each section and what reviewers are looking for. The workshop will end with a focus on NIH RePORTER, which is more than just a database of NIH funded research. It is a treasure trove of information for administrators and researchers alike. We will show participants how to use RePORTER as a tool to find Program Officers, study sections, who else applied to what funding opportunity, and comparative costs. You will be able to go back to your institution (or open your laptop) and use this tool immediately. Participation is highly encouraged! The full program will be added here shortly.
