The Office of VP Research and the College of Health are pleased to announce the development of the NIH Proposal Bootcamp, a six-month program for faculty to go through the process of developing a proposal to the agency. We invite all research faculty from across the university to be a part of the inaugural cohort. In this program, PIs will work through the entire grant writing process with support from faculty mentors and research staff.
This group is for faculty who have never applied for an NIH grant or have not been awarded an NIH grant. During the program, PIs will start from the very beginning of the grant process (developing the scope of the idea and targeting an institute and study section) and develop their proposals for the June 2024 deadline. You can see the draft schedule below.
We will prioritize pre-tenure faculty and/or faculty who have not yet had a successful NIH proposal. To join the cohort, we ask that you prepare a maximum one page statement outlining your potential grant idea and attesting to your commitment by November 15, 2023. Please send it to vpresearch@lehigh.edu.
