Description

This workshop will provide a one-day immersion into the basic issues and functions of a pre-award office. Topics will include the care and education of PIs, identifying and disseminating funding opportunities; facilitating collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts; assisting with proposal development, review, approval and submission of proposals; reviewing, interpreting, negotiating and celebrating new awards, and finally a basic terminology/acronym overview. Particular emphasis will be placed on the importance of preparing and/or approving a "good budget," from the perspectives of the PI, the peer reviewers and regulatory officials. The faculty is committed to equipping attendees with knowledge, reliable reference resources, and an understanding of how to build a professional network to preserve your sanity. Interactive teaching methods will be interspersed throughout the day to solidify important concepts.
