Registration is now open for the KY INBRE R15/R16 Virtual Grant Writing Workshop

KY INBRE will again offer an intensive workshop on the development of NIH R15-Research Enhancement Award (REA) and R16-Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) proposals on Sat, Oct 19. Both programs have similar goals of supporting meritorious research, exposing undergrad students to research, and enhancing the research environment of the institution.

Institutions eligible for the R15 program must not have received more than $6 million in NIH funding in four of the past seven years.
The R16 program also targets institutions which have received limited NIH funding, but also serve an economically disadvantaged and/or minority student population.
Nearly all primarily undergrad institutions in Kentucky are eligible for these awards.
This all day workshop will cover all aspects of writing a successful NIH proposal. Faculty with little or no experience in writing R15 or R16 NIH proposals should plan to participate in all sessions. Whereas, those with prior NIH grant writing experience may choose to participate in only the more advanced sessions. 

The workshop will be conducted via Zoom and is free and open to interested faculty at all Kentucky public and private institutions. 

Register by Mon, Oct 14.

The University of Kentucky Center for Appalachian Research in Environmental Sciences (UK-CARES) is excited to offer our annual COMPASS Science Communication Workshop from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm EST on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 and from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm ET on Thursday, November 14, 2024. This FREE, highly interactive, virtual 3-hour workshop will help you share what you do, what you know - and most importantly, why it matters - in clear, lively terms. Grounded in the latest research on communication, this training will teach you how to build a meaningful connection with your audience and explore what makes people sit up and take notice 
The three hour-long, interactive virtual workshop will introduce tools and strategies to help you distill your knowledge and communicate with diverse audiences. You will learn to use the Message Box, COMPASS' fundamental tool for breaking down complex topics into digestible messages. 
This workshop will involve hands-on practice, feedback, interactive exercises, and lots of breaks, so please join using a webcam and be prepared to actively participate. See the attached flier about the workshop.
Please note that the content for both workshop sessions is the same, so you only need to register for one.  Please choose your preferred date.
