The seminar is focused on NIH funding and emphasis is given to such things as development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers. Content addresses recent changes to how grant proposals are written and reviewed. Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers, who may read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies designed to merit a fundable priority score are provided.
