NIH Regional Seminar on Program Funding & Grants Administration, April 11-12 in Lansing, Michigan Terry May 05 Feb 2002 13:04 EST
Michigan State University is pleased to have the opportunity to host one of the two semiannual NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants Administration scheduled for this spring and summer. This will be held in Lansing - Michigan's capital - on Thursday & Friday, April 11-12, 2002. The Regional Seminars are sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural Research and were offered first in 1979 to demystify the application and review process, highlight current topics of special interest or concern to biomedical researchers, describe selected broad funding priorities, explain new developments in Federal regulations and policies, and provide time for individual discussions in a relaxed setting. The seminars support the NIH mission of providing education and training for the next generation of biomedical and behavioral scientists as well as helping more experienced researchers and research administrators remain current with new developments. The seminars are appropriate for new researchers, experienced clinicians and academicians broadly who plan to expand their research foci to include biomedicine and health studies, grants and departmental administrators, and graduate students. We have worked closely with NIH to offer programs of interest to all - please visit the program web site at [http://www.vprgs.msu.edu/nih02/] for complete information, but we are pleased to note that Dr. Yvonne Maddox, NIH Deputy Director, will present the keynote address on "Eliminating Health Disparities" as well as hosting an open session for follow-up questions about health disparities funding programs and other topics of interest. The full program and list of NIH faculty that will be present and be available for you to meet is available at http://www.vprgs.msu.edu/nih02/NIH%20Program.pdf. Participants will receive detailed materials for all sessions; not just the sessions attended. This two-day event offers a variety of speakers, topics, breakout sessions, and discussion opportunities to meet the needs of all participants. Please see the agenda for full detail of the seminar schedule. We invite you to register via the web site listed above, as soon as possible - space is limited. We look forward to seeing everyone in April. ******************************************************************* Terry A. May, Ph.D. Director of Research Development 524 S.
