Grant writing is an important skill for doctoral students to develop, particularly those interested in faculty careers (also relevant to folks interested in many other roles as well!). The purpose of this course is to support BUSPH doctoral students/candidates in writing grant proposals in a systematic fashion under faculty guidance and with peer input. The fall portion will focus on general grant writing strategies, while the spring portion will focus on proposal development. Upon completion of the grant writing course, the expectation is that participants will submit their proposal for funding. The focus is on NIH/AHRQ F-series and R36-type grants, though students are welcome to use the course to prepare a grant for a foundation or other source of funding. Participants are expected to involve their dissertation committee members in decision making and receive their input throughout the grant writing process.
