Cancer Biology Grant Writing

1 credits · Graduate School

This self-guided course provides applied training in grant writing for students in their first year in the Cancer Biology program and second overall year in graduate school. Students will write an NRSA proposal and are assigned two faculty reviewers who will provide feedback in at least three meetings. Input from the mentor is essential but needs to be limited to verbal discussions with the student. The proposal will be written and submitted to the reviewers in stages, with three required face-to-face meetings. Passing of the course depends on the final quality of the proposal, the ability of the student to incorporate suggestions and to respond to criticism, and the adherence to deadlines laid out by the course director at the beginning of the course.
