Innovation in NIH Reviews: The Population, Approach, or Both

This event will include a video presentation by Dr. Bluthenthal, which will be available to participants 1 week prior to the webinar. Additional information and questions from event participants will be addressed during the 1-hour webinar. Dr. Bluthenthal will discuss his online video on the mechanics and culture of the NIH review process, and the relative importance of innovation in grant applications. 

Participants will:
  • Become familiar with the basics of the proposal review process and review criteria.
  • Learn strategies for strengthening the innovation section.
  • Have an opportunity to pose questions to an experienced NIH funded researcher.

Who should attend?
This event is designed to meet the needs of early career faculty (within 10 years of receiving their doctoral degree) from minority serving institutions (MSIs) interested in conducting health disparities research. While priority will be given to faculty from MSIs, early career faculty from non-MSI institutions may register. Enrollment is limited.
