Today - VALIDATE Workshop - NIH101: A Guide to Applying for National Institutes of Health Funding
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the United States' primary medical research agency supporting scientific studies that turn discovery into health. The NIH is the largest public funder of biomedical research in the world, currently investing nearly $45 billion in fiscal year 2022 to enhance life, and reduce illness and disability.
In this workshop, Dr Katrin Eichelberg will provide advice on finding NIH funding opportunities and share some tips on putting together an NIH grant application.
The Workshop will take place 14:00 today. Online registration is closed, but email validate@ndm.ox.ac.uk, and we will email you the Zoom link if there is still room.
