Synopsis: This
workshop is an opportunity to hear from UNH researchers who have been
successful in obtaining funding through the National Institutes of Health
(NIH)’s
Academic Research Enhancement Award
(AREA) program which is implemented through the R15 mechanism. These awards
are intended to support meritorious research; expose undergraduate and graduate
students to hands-on research in eligible environments; and strengthen the
research environment of schools that have not been major recipients of NIH
support. The researchers will talk about their experiences applying for and
managing their AREA awards. In addition, assistance and resources to help
investigators prepare competitive AREA applications that are available through
the Research Development Office will be discussed.
UP-2-NIH is a UNH program that promotes competitive
applications to the National Institutes of Health by researchers at any career
level whose research activities are in the biomedical or behavioral sciences. A
seminar series format is presented in alternate years with an intensive,
mentored workshop/proposal writing format.
