Questions

What is this offering?

The MICHR Mock Study Section helps participants understand how NIH grant reviewers think. Participants will discuss actual twelve-page K and R grants (already submitted in some version to the NIH), learning what happens behind the closed doors in a real K or R grant review. It simulates an NIH study section in every detail (including the work expected). Participants will be assigned a research grant to review that focuses on either health services or clinical/translational work.
