Society for Neuroscience 33rd Annual Meeting, New Orleans, November 8-12, 2003





    NIH and NSF Funding for Your Research Training and Career Development
    Saturday, November 8
    8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
    Morial Convention Center, Room 356-357
    Sponsored by NINDS, in collaboration with other institutes of NIH and NSF.
    Registration is NOT required – all are welcome.
    This workshop is targeted for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and beginning faculty at all stages of training and career development. If you want information on NIH and NSF funding opportunities AND how to go about getting funded, this workshop is for you. There will be brief presentations on the various fellowships and career development awards available and information on programs to enhance diversity in the neurosciences. Program and Review staff from NIH and NSF will also hold roundtable discussions on how to write a fellowship or a career award grant. We will discuss Do’s and Don’ts of how to apply, good "grantspersonship," picking the appropriate mentor/sponsor, what to expect from review, and other issues. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know NIH and NSF staff, establish contacts, and get ahead. Contact: Dr. Henry Khachaturian, Training and Career Development Officer, NINDS, NIH, 6001 Executive Blvd, Neuroscience Center, Room 2154, Bethesda, MD 20892. Phone: 301-496-4188. Fax: 301-594-5929.
