Summary
The ability to write successful research grants is a crucial skill that requires guidance and training. As university budgets are shrinking and external funding sources are becoming increasingly competitive, it is even more imperative for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientists to finesse their grant writing skills early in their careers by applying for extramural funding, especially individual fellowships.
Join The New York Academy of Sciences for “Transition to Research Independence: Funding and Grantsmanship” to learn strategies for concise and persuasive writing that are vital in academia and essential for any career path. Dr. Jaime S. Rubin, Vice Chair for Investigator Development at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and an expert in this field with decades of experience, will teach this hybrid course.
During this program, you will learn about:
- Types of funding agencies (government and private)
- Types of private agencies (e.g., voluntary health organizations, professional societies, private foundations)
- Review criteria for fellowship applications
- Key components of fellowship applications
- Strategic approaches for competitive applications
- Common but overlooked mistakes made by new investigators
- Tips to increase your chances for success
We encourage you to join us in person at our space on 115 Broadway, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10006, to take full advantage of the event. You also have the option to attend virtually, follow along, and submit questions online.
