VIRTUAL TRAINING

WEBINAR TRAINING

This convenient and repeatable training is for faculty, trainees, and research administrative staff at qualified institutions who want to assess their understanding of the NIH grant writing process. It is helpful for those requiring a cursory review and anyone needing additional, more in-depth training. Topics will change monthly, and news updates and timely content will be provided as needed.

R01, R21 & R03 NIH Funding Opportunities: Pros and Cons

Wed, Nov. 20, 3:00-4:00 PM Eastern
60-min plus live Q&A
 

Register 

The R01, R21 and R03 are the three most common NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs). The R01 is considered the “gold standard” of NIH grants. The small R03 and exploratory/developmental R21 grants should not be considered as “mini-R01s” but rather serve a specific purpose for investigators. Our presenter has had multiple R01 and R21 grants and extensive experience reviewing these types of grant applications and will provide:

  • A basic overview of the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities, including the difference between Parent Announcements (investigator-initiated) and Program Announcements/Request for Applications (PAs/RFAs).
  • Important differences between the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities.
  • Whether the R01, R21 or R03 is the right funding opportunity for your project.
