6.  ORR Research Seminars
The Office of Research Resources conducted its 2010 Spring Research Seminar entitled, “Important Recent and Future Changes at the NIH: What do PIs really need to know.”  Topics included new requirements and formatting for NIH biosketches, compliance with the NIH Public Access policy, and new instructions for the “Resources” Grant section.

SAVE THE DATE!  Friday October 29 from 8:30am-11:00am the ORR will present the 2010 Fall Research Seminar, “The New NIH Application, Structure, & Scoring Workshop: The NIH-APPS Workshop”

The NIH-APPSS Workshop will take place on Friday, October 29 from 9am-11am in the School of Nursing First Floor Student Lounge.  Join ORR Faculty and Staff for an informal, hands-on workshop covering:

  • The new NIH grant application components
  • Tips on structuring your NIH grant applications to align with criteria
  • A review of grant exemplars: What has worked so far?
  • A peek into the new NIH review process and scoring system (by NIH panel member, Dr. Suzanne Bakken)
  • Differentiating between “Significance” and “Innovation”
  • Development of grant proposal ideas and specific aims and with input from fellow CUSON faculty

Because this will be an interactive session, attendees are encouraged to bring their current or future grant submission ideas, as well as aims and hypotheses, to the workshop.  Come for all or just part of this interactive workshop!  Breakfast will be served, so please RSVP to Laureen Pagan at lp2043@columbia.edu.
