Step into the role of an NIH study section member and experience what happens after a grant is submitted. Through a facilitated simulation, participants will read, critique and score an actual grant (K or R application) and will see how their comments influence the discussion. Participants are able to learn how a study section operates from the other side of the process, to better prepare their own grants for review. Nothing can replace hands-on experience with grant reviews. Thus, participants will be required to read and score grants as if they were a reviewer. 

Schedule (All offerings will be held via Zoom):
August 18, 2022: K08 Review (8-11am)
