Description

The Specific Aims page is a concise master plan for your research grant, and is one of the most important components of a grant proposal. In this session, participants will learn how to write each of the four critical sections of a Specific Aims page.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify the critical sections of a specific aims page
  2. List the important components of each specific aims section
  3. Name the most common reviewer critiques of specific aims pages

Schedule of Activities

  • 2:00-2:05pm – Welcome/Introduction/ITHS overview
  • 2:05-3:05pm – Presentation and Q&A
  • 3:05-3:15pm – Closing/Thank You/Feedback Survey

Pre-Work

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own Specific Aims page from a grant proposal they have written, if available.  If not, sample Specific Aims pages will be provided. There will be an opportunity to either self-assess these Specific Aims pages or pair up with another attendee to assess each others’ Specific Aims pages for the critical components, and identify areas for improvement.
