Grant Writing Immersive Experience

The Grant Writing Immersive Experience program will build upon participants’ introductory experience with grant writing and clinical research to provide them with the foundational skills, knowledge, and awareness to be successful in submitting grants and advancing their research. Ideal candidates include early-career faculty members and doctorally-prepared nurses in healthcare organizations that have some experience obtaining small grants or participating in larger grants but have not yet received an independent grant as a principal investigator. Program participants will have some experience with grant writing through successfully writing pre- or post-doctoral grants, serving as a co-investigator on a grant, and have limited proficiency with select grant writing competencies.

Throughout the month-long program, participants will:

  • develop an awareness of their individual strengths and opportunities for growth related to grant writing
  • acquire foundational knowledge about the components of a grant proposal
  • become familiar with data analysis plans and research rigor
  • learn about the review criteria of grant proposals
  • create a NIH Biosketch
  • acquire awareness around the common pitfalls in proposals and develop strategies to address them
  • develop the skills necessary for creating a budget
