Regional Seminars
|
|
Rather
than have printed information available on how to write a grant the
broad tradition at NIA and NIH is to work through regional seminars
and annual meetings such as AGS to provide tips on grant-writing.
|
| |
|
To see a schedule of NIH regional seminars:

|
| |
|
NIA
also runs regional seminars targeted to research in geriatrics and
other areas of aging, some of which are announced here:

|
| |
|
Separately
NIA runs one to two-day meetings around the country that are not
announced on their web pages. Instead a local host does the
advertising usually to a multi-state area.

Loan Repayment Program for Clinical Researchers
|
|
NIA
participates in the NIH loan repayment program for clinically-trained
individuals now pursuing research careers in patient-oriented
research. The program allows up to $35,000 annually for up to two
years depending on total educational loan debt. It offers in addition
a federal tax offset for the amount of the repayment. Further details
about this and other extramural loan repayment programs are available
at the NIH loan repayment website.

Repayment Program home page: http://www.lrp.nih.gov/

NIH Roadmap
|
|
Roadmap activities are particularly focused at ensuring training in
areas that bridge scientific disciplines and that provide resources
(including new investigators) that can enrich a number of biomedical
fields. A description of all Roadmap activities is available at: http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/
. One major focus of Roadmap activities is Re-engineering the
Clinical Research Enterprise, and within that focus Clinical Research
Workforce Training is an important direction. The current initiatives
in this area may be seen at:
