Virtual Grant Writing Session for IRF Applicants
Led by Triesta Fowler, MD
In 2018, DIR launched the Intramural Research Fellowship (IRF), a competitive research funding opportunity for NICHD postdoctoral, visiting, and clinical fellows. Its main objective is to promote grant writing among our intramural trainees, while enhancing awareness of the various components of an NIH grant application. For all prospective applicants, the Office of Education will offer a training session to cover various components of an NIH grant, details about the application and review processes, and tips on preparing an IRF application.
Attendance at this virtual training session is a requirement for submission. For complete information on the IRF, please visit NICHD Intramural Research Fellowship. The IRF submission date is Friday, September 9, 2022.
Please email Ms. Katherine Lamb (katherine.lamb@nih.gov) if you are planning to attend the training session.
