R01 Award Writing Group

This newly established group is run by Dr. Schahram Akbarian, Associate Professor and Director of Translational Research at the BNRI. The R01 Review Group is aimed towards faculty who are actively writing R or P type NIH proposals, who plan to submit their proposal in a few weeks or months from now. Thus the group could provide review and feedback for 'R or P grants in progress' or even better, for near complete R01's and provide a forum for useful advice.

The group generally meets on a monthly basis.  For upcoming shedules, contact Christine Bibeault at christine.bibeault@umassmed.edu
