Description

The NIH team is on the field, coaches are ready to provide inside tips and guidance, and we're looking for some team players from the extramural research community who are ready for the latest information and strategies for success! Educational and interactive activities with senior NIH officials await those who join us on October 20, 2009 at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel. Don't miss this special training day to learn more about the NIH grants process, policy, and programs.

NIH officials will provide an insider's look at NIH, including history, organizational structure, the application submission and assignment process, peer review enhancements, and high priority initiatives at NIH. NIH grants management and program officials will discuss the ins and outs of managing research grants in an increasingly complex environment and how to address less common situations that may impact your institution. Hear the latest updates on eRA Commons functions, new policies, updated resources, and look ahead at expected changes. All the team players (NIH staff and workshop participants) will join together for lunch and learn from one another.

In the afternoon, attendees have the opportunity to meet "Face-to-Face" with an NIH panel comprised of eRA subject matter experts, policy, grants management & program officers representing various NIH Institutes/Centers (ICs). During this session, NIH staff will lead a discussion on how eRA, grants management, review, and program staff work together to manage application and awards within NIH Institutes. Highlights will include pre-award and post-award issues and guidance to help participants return to the office with useful information. Q&A will allow final questions to be answered before everyone leaves the field!
