MARC PROGRAM
Travel Awards for Faculty/Mentors with Students and Poster/Oral Presenters (Students/Postdoctoral Fellows)
The FASEB MARC Program will be sponsoring travel awards to help support the participation of faculty/mentors, postdoctoral fellows, and students from minority institutions (MIs) and historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The travel awards are funded up to $1,450 each for travel-related expenses and meeting registration. Travel awards are provided as reimbursements after the meeting.
The travel awards are supported by a federal training grant from the NIGMS/NIH; therefore, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents of the U.S. are eligible for the travel awards. Underrepresented minority faculty, students, and postdoctoral fellows from majority institutions are also eligible to apply for the travel awards. For travel award information, contact Trevia Spriggs via email at tspriggs@faseb.org.
NOTE: AAI members who will be participating in the AAI Annual Meeting/IMMUNOLOGY 2006 should apply for travel award funding through the AAI headquarters office in Bethesda, Maryland -- click here for application form. For more information, contact Michele Horton via email at infoaai@aai.org.
The FASEB Career Resources and MARC Program Office in association with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will offer a three-part grant seminar workshop in the Career Resources Center at the AAI Annual Meeting/IMMUNOLOGY 2006. Dr. Anthony M. Coelho, Jr., Review Policy Officer at NIH, will chair the workshops. Meeting registration is required to participate in the seminars.
Peer Review of NIH Grants–Part I
This workshop is focused on providing information on how to understand the
peer review process, which is essential to competing successfully for
funding. The workshops also provide an overview of how scientific peer
review is carried out at NIH.
Grant Writing for Success–Part II
This workshop provides an introduction to factors that contribute to
applications that succeed in obtaining research funding. This presentation
is focused on the fundamental principles of successful grant writing, the
most common reasons that grant applications fail, how to make an application
"reviewer friendly", how to meet the needs of the reviewers and the funding
agency, how to avoid the need for resubmission, and tips and strategies for
resubmitting, including what should and what should not be done if
resubmission becomes necessary.
NIH
Mock Study Section–Part III
This workshop provides participants with an overview of the working dynamics
of peer review at NIH. Participants will see the peer review process in
action, followed by a question-and-answer period.
IMPORTANT: Handouts and resource materials will be provided on-site For further information on the grant writing seminar workshops, please contact Carol Beischke via email at cbieschke@faseb.org.
