Extramural Research Grant Application

As the capstone to the program, the trainee writes and turns in a complete and submitted extramural grant application. In the majority of cases, the trainee will submit a NIH career development grant (NIH K23, K08) or equivalent foundation grant. In some cases, the trainee may submit a R21, R01 or equivalent independent grant. If planning to submit a grant to other agencies, the trainee should seek approval by the Career Development Committee in advance. The research grant proposal will use standard NIH forms (or similar forms for foundation-based awards). The research proposal should be based on the trainee’s prior research (project and manuscript(s) must form the background and significance of the proposal). The grant application will be developed with the close advice and guidance of the trainee’s mentor(s) and multidisciplinary team.
