My NIH/Cayuse Control Panel
A Confession
Occasionally, I completely space out on what I’m doing. I’ve been submitting R01 and R21 NIH applications for at least five years, now. In spite of that experience, I was completely confused yesterday, not knowing where to begin.
I ended up reading a document that I helped create, bewildered at how I could have forgotten so much of it after a few scant months. My response to that feeling is writing this post. My hope is that it can help me the next time I get stuck.
The environment this is geared toward includes the following:
- Institutional divisions that include the scientist(s), administrators, and grants & contracts specialists.
- Use the Cayuse424 grant application system
- Are applying for (chiefly) NIH R01 & R21 mechanisms
Where to Start
What follows is a slightly-abridged version of the training materials we came up with internally at BRI. It’s a great way to quickly revisit the basics and get the mind on track. Much of what is found in this document is pulled from open-access information on the internet, particularly from the NIH websites.
