Write Winning Grant Proposals, CCaTS Annual Workshop 2016

November 18, 2016

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCaTS) Education Resources is offering a one-day seminar titled "Write Winning Grant Proposals," which will be held at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and available via videoconference at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona and Florida.

This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. 

The seminar has been designed specifically to emphasize issues that are directly relevant to applications submitted to the NIH, which is the funding agency of most interest to the attendees. Emphasis is given to such topics as idea development, determination of the funding priorities of the funding agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers.

Participants are taught to think about and then write the proposal using a linear progression of logic that leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences — the assigned reviewers, who read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers, who may read little or none of the proposal before the meeting of the study section. Strategies designed to help the applicant to merit a fundable priority score are provided.
