Knowledge of National Institutes of Health (NIH) research opportunities, mechanisms, and processes are critical skills for new as well as established researchers seeking funding for training and research in child and adolescent psychiatry. This workshop familiarizes new investigators with the grant writing and grant review process within the NIH systems. The workshop includes interactive discussion on career paths and NIH grant opportunities. NIH staff and senior researchers present current NIH grant mechanisms available for emerging scholars/young investigators and strategies for a successful research grant review, as well as current NIDA and NIMH research priorities. Participants have the opportunity to interact with program staff and senior researchers in small groups for individualized feedback on grant writing and successful strategies for obtaining NIH research grant funding.
