2007 NIH Regional Seminars in Program Funding and Grants Administration

Two regional seminars covering topics related to NIH extramural program funding and grants administration are planned for 2007. The two-day seminars provide information about the NIH funding process, from opportunity identification and application preparation through post award administration. Presentations are targeted towards research administrators, new and experienced investigators, post docs and trainees. Opportunities for informal interactions between seminar participants and NIH grants management, program, policy, and review staff are incorporated into the program and such interactions are highly encouraged. NIH electronic research administration labs are offered on a day adjacent to the two day seminar. The seminars will be held on:
