Medical Grants: Home

This primer on the mechanics of applying for NIH grants offers hands-on advice that simplifies, demystifies, and takes the fear out of writing a federal grant application. The graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, or junior research faculty member applying for a prestigious NIH grant faces many complex issues and situations. Although many grant writing guides already exist, they are overly general in helping applicants navigate the complexities peculiar to the NIH process. Also, although several NIH institutes provide information regarding grant submissions, such info tends to be general and awkward to access. This book provides specific and detailed step-by-step guidance in completing an NIH application through a number of unique features.

This fully updated and revised edition of a classic guide to grant writing for health and human service professionals reflects the two major changes in the field: new NIH application processes and an increased emphasis on interprofessional and team approaches to science. New case examples reflect grant writing strategies for a great variety of health and human service professions, and the text includes an enhanced focus on online methods for organizing grant submissions.
