NIH announces two Regional Seminars to be held in Philadelphia, PA, April 14-16, 2010 and Portland, OR, June 23-25, 2010. More than 25 HHS and NIH policy experts as well as grants management, review and program staff will be on hand to provide a broad array of expertise on the latest NIH grants policy and process information. Sessions will focus on federal regulations and policies, the fundamentals of the grants process, peer review, NIH initiatives, and more. In addition, the popular NIH electronic Research Administration (eRA) hands-on computer workshops will again be offered in conjunction with the seminar, providing attendees with hands-on experience on how to interact electronically with NIH. Anyone interested in the NIH grants process should consider attending, including sponsored project office and departmental administrators, principle investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students.
April 14-16, 2010 – Philadelphia, PA – Registration will open early December. eRA computer workshops will be offered on Wednesday, April 14, 2010. This seminar is co-hosted by the University of Pennsylvania and Thomas Jefferson University.
June 23-25, 2010 – Portland, OR – Registration will open mid-January 2010. eRA computer workshops will be offered on Wednesday, June 23, 2010. This seminar is co-hosted by Oregon Health & Science University.
These seminars provide an opportunity for participants to gain a better perspective of NIH policies and programs, network with hundreds of their peers, obtain helpful NIH contacts, and to return to their offices or labs with inside information into obtaining and managing NIH awards. As these seminars are only provided twice a year around the country, they traditionally reach capacity prior to the event, so please register early. We look forward to welcoming you in 2010!
