The goal of this workshop
is to provide an understanding of the submission ,
review, and award process of a grant application. In
short, a successful grant application must include
well-defined goals or deliverables that, if achieved,
will result in new basic understandings, novel products,
and innovative technologies for addressing biomedical
problems. An application may propose design-directed,
developmental, discovery-driven, or hypothesis-driven
research. However, the guidelines for proposal structure
and content can vary significantly from one funding
agency to another.
The
speakers will review and compare the specific requirements
of two major funding agencies — the National Science
Foundation and the National Institutes of Health — in
the area of biomaterials science.
