By Roman Petrowski, Office of Communications

Grants 101The New Investigator Development Program (NIDP), led by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Chief Academic Officer, offers an introductory grant preparation program, Grants 101, for junior faculty members and administrative support staff Jan. 8-9.

Grants 101 is a six-hour program, held across two days, that provides an overview of the process of preparing and submitting a grant application from UTHealth Houston. The goal is to provide an overview of the grants process, including what is necessary to submit a grant through UTHealth Houston and its lifecycle as the proposal is processed and reviewed by funding agencies after it leaves the institution.

The Grants 101 sessions are open to anyone who would like to attend but are designed primarily for junior investigators who have not previously submitted proposals as principal investigators and for administrative staff (e.g., DMO’s administrative assistants, department clerks, etc.) who assist faculty members with grant preparation and submission.

The course will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday, Jan. 8 and Tuesday, Jan. 9. A complete outline for Grants 101 and a registration form are available on the NIDP website.
