2009 NIH Regional Seminars Announced: Atlanta and Las Vegas
Make plans today for attending one of the 2009
NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration. Over 25 HHS and NIH policy, grants management,
review and program staff members will be on hand to provide a broad array
of expertise and insight related to federal regulations and policies, and provide
the fundamentals of the grants process, peer review, NIH initiatives, and
more. In addition, optional NIH Electronic Research Administration (eRA) hands-on
computer workshops for Principal Investigators and administrators are offered
in conjunction with the seminar, providing attendees with hands-on experience
in how to interact electronically with NIH. Anyone interested in the NIH grants
process should consider attending, including sponsored project office and
departmental administrators, PIs, graduate students, etc.
April 16-17, 2009
– Atlanta, GA - (Registration is open.) eRA computer workshops will be offered

These
seminars provide an opportunity for participants to gain a better perspective
of NIH policies and programs, network with their peers, obtain helpful NIH
contacts, and to return to their offices and/or labs with inside information
into obtaining and managing NIH awards. Since these seminars are only provided
twice a year, they traditionally reach capacity prior to
the event—so please register early. We look forward to sharing the 2009
seminars with you. For more information, visit the NIH Office of Extramural
Research Regional Seminar Web site at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/seminars.htm.
