This course targets fundamentals of grant writing for doctoral students planning academic research careers. The course covers the entirety of the process, from identifying a grant mechanism through grant review and resubmission. Students will draft part or all of a grant proposal on their proposed dissertation research, present their drafts in class, and receive feedback from peers. The focus is on funding mechanisms for advanced doctoral students through the National Institutes of Health, although other agencies and mechanisms will be discussed as well.
