2012 NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration

If you are new to the NIH grants process or have staff that could benefit from an opportunity to meet, share and learn from NIH senior leadership, policy officers, grants management, program, and review officials, along with hundreds of attendees from around the world…then take note of the upcoming 2012 NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration.  For those with a little more experience with NIH policies and the grants process, the seminars provide the latest updates straight from NIH “insiders” and advanced sessions with case study discussions. 

Held only twice each year, participants at the NIH Regional Seminars have an unparalleled opportunity to gain a better perspective of NIH policies and programs, network with peers, and gather helpful NIH contacts.  Attendees can be assured that they will return to the office or lab with inside information, resources, and tools to assist in them in obtaining and managing NIH awards. 

Registration is open for both seminars!
