Monthly Webinar Training

About Our Webinars

This convenient and repeatable training is for faculty, trainees, and research administrative staff at qualified institutions who want to assess their understanding of the NIH grant writing process. It is helpful for those requiring a cursory review and anyone needing additional, more in-depth training. Topics will change monthly, and news updates and timely content will be provided as needed.

We encourage you to share information about our webinars with your colleagues. As a registrant, you will receive email reminders and a link to the video recording. Recordings are posted on our YouTube channel and website. While we do not offer continuing education credits for attending, our Center remains a free source for training, consulting, and information related to the NIH SuRE R16 program.

FACULTY & TRAINEES Student Wellness Strategies Tue, Nov. 12, 2:00-3:00 PM ET

60-min plus live Q&A

This presentation will discuss strategies for supporting holistic student wellness, including opportunities for both mentors and students to engage in helpful behaviors. While higher education comes with unique challenges at times, due to student development and regular life stage changes, additional resources have been allocated at many institutions, and regular work is being done to help support student wellness, particularly student mental health. Participants will walk away with concrete strategies for supporting the wellness of themselves and those around them.

Our presenter will provide suggestions on what mentors can do to help students and share some positive behaviors for students to engage in themselves.

FACULTY R01, R21 & R03 NIH Funding Opportunities: Pros and Cons Wed, Nov. 20, 3:00-4:00 PM ET

60-min plus live Q&A

The R01, R21 and R03 are the three most common NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs). The R01 is considered the “gold standard” of NIH grants. The small R03 and exploratory/developmental R21 grants should not be considered as “mini-R01s” but rather serve a specific purpose for investigators. Our presenter has had multiple R01 and R21 grants and extensive experience reviewing these types of grant applications and will provide:

A basic overview of the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities, including the difference between Parent Announcements (investigator-initiated) and Program Announcements/Request for Applications (PAs/RFAs).
Important differences between the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities.
Whether the R01, R21 or R03 is the right funding opportunity for your project.
