27 Jan R01-101: Reflections on My Experience with My First R01 Submission and Other Tips from a New Investigator
Register below to receive Zoom information
Description
The Research Project Grant (R01) is the original grant mechanism used by the National Institutes of Health. The R01 provides support for health-related research and development based on the mission of the NIH, and it is the most commonly used grant program for independent research projects.
The experience of putting together your first R01 can be daunting, especially for New Investigators or Early-Career Investigators. In this session, we will share some tips on how to plan ahead for the application process and how to produce a clear, organized, and impactful R01 application. We will also share some lessons learned while becoming a New Investigator.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
- Identify important information to gather before drafting the first R01 application
- Acquire new tips on how to develop their own research projects and labs
- Develop and maintain collegial relationships with collaborators and NIH officers to ensure a successful NIH application
Pre-Work
To make the most of this session, have a copy of your current R01 draft handy. After the presentation, there will be a virtual office hours session for attendees to go over different parts of a “real” R01 application.
