If you’re considering applying for programs in the Division of Training, Workforce Development, and Diversity, don’t miss our workshop later this year for faculty interested in developing student research training programs:
Tuesday, December 3, 2019, 8:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. MT
During the event, which will be held at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, we’ll discuss our funding opportunities for community colleges and bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degree-awarding institutions. You’ll gain information on the grants and peer review processes, obtain tips for writing proposals, and get a chance to meet with NIGMS staff.
