Are you preparing a career development grant application (such as NIH K or VA CDA) for submission in February or June 2027? Join the K Writing Workshop program for valuable peer critiques and feedback from senior faculty who are experienced in NIH study section thinking. During this introductory three-part workshop, participants will exchange drafts of their proposals, so please be prepared to share your own proposal draft during the course of the workshop.
The workshop takes place from 5:30 – 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, February 10 (Career Goals & Objectives and Career Development / Training Plan), March 3 (Specific Aims), and March 24 (Candidate Background), 2027 via Zoom. There will also be an optional session on February 3rd from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. to cover MICHR resources and NIH K Award policy changes, as well as review a successful and unsuccessful K award submission.
Registration is required, and a shortcode (U-M) or payment by credit card (non-U-M) is required for your registration. There is a fee of $276 for U-M registrants and $375 for others. (The workshop will be free for U-M registrants who attend all three sessions and provide a shortcode.)
The K Writing Workshop will also be offered in Summer 2027 during the day for those who are preparing competitive career development grant applications for October 2027 or February 2028 submission.
This workshop is co-sponsored by the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) and the Institute for Health Policy and Innovation (IHPI).
The registration deadline is January 13, 2027.
