Grant Writing Feedback
From the Experts Who’ve Been There.
In the face of budget cuts causing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to reject half of the worthwhile research proposals it receives, the ITM is helping you put your best foot forward with programs that have helped participants secure more than $1 million in funding. Senior experts – some who have been NIH reviewers themselves – will give you detailed feedback as you craft your application. These free programs are open to all ITM faculty, trainees, and affiliates. Find out which program is right for you.
