By Invitation Only
In an effort to facilitate
the career development of NIDDK supported investigators and
help in their transition
to independent research
careers, the Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases
(DEM) and the Digestive Diseases and Nutrition (DDN) divisions
of the
NIDDK are co-sponsoring a ‘New Investigators Workshop’ September
27 - 28, 2004 on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD. Participation
in the workshop is by invitation only.
The purpose of the meeting is to offer NIDDK career development
awardees an in-depth view of the NIH, the NIDDK, and the grants'
process. The meeting will provide an opportunity to become familiar
with the roles of various NIH staff, the types of grant support
and resources available, and the inner workings of the peer review
system. Senior investigators from the endocrine and gastroenterology
communities will provide grant writing tips and career advice.
There will be ample time for questions and answers during the
two-day workshop. The meeting location and format will encourage
networking
among participants. NIDDK program staff will be available for
discussions of future individual research projects.
