Jean,

Having attended one of these seminars, and being scheduled to host one in June, 2005 here at Purdue, I'm enthusiastic about their value both for administrators and for faculty. Faculty here who I sent to one of last year's seminars were equally pleased.  As for location, seminars are essentially the same in all geographical locations.

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH Regional Seminars

Hello all,
 A short while back there was a discussion on this list serv of the value
of NIH Regional Seminars and I think I remember that the feedback was very
positive.  I noticed that two regional seminars in program funding and
grants administration where just announced on January 20, one in Seattle
and one in MIami.  I have two questions for the group on these.
 First, are these seminars beneficial for both research administrators and
researchers?  One group more than the other?
 Second, are the seminars specific in any way to the region in which they
are held?  In other words, is it worthwhile for someone form a
Massachusetts institution to go to a seminar in Miami or Seattle?  Thanks
much for your responses.
Jean
