Developing and Writing Fellowship Proposals

Graduate / Professional

In this course, students learn how fellowship award review panels are run and what the selection criteria are. The NIH National Research Service Award (NRSA) Fellowship is used as the main framework for learning. Students develop NIH-style Biosketches, learn to generate key points in the NIH Research Training Plan, and learn how to write a Specific Aims page and what to consider for the Project Narrative. Through student-led groups, students learn how to critique Specific Aims pages, with input from instructors, and then develop Project Narratives with specific focuses on effective communication of the underlying hypotheses, impact and significance, and experimental plans.
