The UK Department of Internal Medicine is offering a course for Internal Medicine faculty to help them write R01 NIH grants or similar grants. This course will be taught by Philip Kern, MD, with help from the UK Proposal Development Office. The department of internal medicine wishes to promote grant submissions and will provide special assistance for internal medicine faculty. This program will include a mixture of class work, tutorials, and personal assistance with the hope that the participant could submit a grant and then submit a revision if the first submission is not funded. There will be writing accountability milestones throughout the course to encourage progress and growth. The course is designed for in-person attendance.
To be eligible to participate, you must be MD/DO/PhD faculty in internal medicine, have a sincere interest in obtaining NIH grant funding, and be ready to write during the course. This would typically include someone with some history of research in the past or with a novel idea that would be suitable for an investigator-initiated grant.
Candidates for the course must have adequate protected time to pursue a grant, actively participate in the course, and devote time to writing, meeting their mentors, and performing other grant-related activities. Participants will be selected based on eligibility, readiness to write (as evidenced by abstract or specific aims submitted during registration), and on a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration will close Aug. 30, 2024, and participants will be notified of acceptance into the program by Sept. 6, 2024.
