  • University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine [NIH] Grant Writing Manual, 2008-2009
    • “I am delighted to provide the Grant Writing Manual, now in its 13th year of production, as a resource for School of Medicine faculty. It has been assembled over time based on the insight of senior faculty members, and with considerable effort to keep pace with change in the funding environment…This Manual is designed to assist researchers in the process of grant writing. The Manual provides new invewtigators with a foundation for successful grant writing, and senior investigators with helpful tips as they work to keep pace with developments in the funding environment.”

  • Narrated Advice Presentations for NIH SBIR and STTR Proposals - These narrated tutorials are an excellent source of information on developing SBIR and STTR proposals. They offer general advice and information on applying, as well as a visual step-by-step overview of the process from the knowledge and experience of NIAID staff, including former NIH grantees.
  • SBIR Gateway, a “Comprehensive and Easy to Use SBIR Information Site”
  • National Cancer Institute Diversity Training Programs
    • The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recognizes the need to promote diversity in the cancer research workforce. The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), through its Diversity Training Branch (DTB), leads NCI’s efforts in the training of students and investigators from diverse populations who will be part of the next generation of competitive researchers in cancer and cancer health disparities research.
  • National Institue of General Medical Scinces Recruitment and Retention Plan to Enhance Diversity
    • NIGMS continues to place special emphasis on the recruitment, retention, and graduation of individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups. The following racial and ethnic groups have been shown to be underrepresented in biomedical research: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans/Alaska Natives who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment, Hawaiian Natives, and natives of the U.S. Pacific Islands. In addition, it is recognized that underrepresentation can vary from setting to setting and individuals from racial or ethnic groups that can be convincingly demonstrated to be underrepresented by the grantee institution should be included in the recruitment and retention plan. Additional information and resources can be found at:
    • Diversity Recruitment and Retention Strategies
    • Approaches to Recruiting and Retaining Underrepresented Minority Students and Postdoctoral Fellows on NRSA Institutional Research Training Grants

    • Proposal Writing: The Business of Science, by Wendy Sanders, Whitaker Foundation

    • “Before you begin writing your proposal, make certain that you understand the mission of the funding agency to which you are applying. The mission of the NIH is to improve the health of the people in the U.S. No matter how scientifically important your work may be, no funding agency will support your proposal if it does not support the agency’s mission.”
    • “The essence of a successful application is the idea underlying it. How can we evaluate whether our idea is a good idea, the definition of a good idea being one with the potential to be funded?”
