LOGISTICAL SERVICES FOR THE NINDS 2014 DIVERSITY GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP TO BE HELD

国家神经疾病和中风研究所(NINDS)提供了一年两次的研讨会，重点是赠款的编写，以改善多样性研究人员提交的赠款的结果。本次会议的目标是与早期研究人员分享NIH赠款开发的最佳实践和战略。 研讨会支持NIH的使命，使有前途的博士后、初级和职业生涯中期教师能够最终敲定一份向NIH提交的神经科学研究(例如R01、R21、R15等)具有极强竞争力的提案。或在研讨会结束前获得职业发展奖(K)。这项努力是NINDS使命的一部分，也是对发展一支代表美国社会多样性的生物医学研究队伍的承诺。这也是一种干预措施，旨在解决NIH奖项特别是少数群体获奖成功率较低的问题[基于D.K.Ginther等人的研究结果。科学333,1015-1019(2011)]。NINDS寻求在其所有培训和研究方案中促进多样性，并增加代表不足的群体的参与。

National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) provides a biannual workshop focused on grant writing to improve the outcomes of the grant submissions from diversity investigators. The goal of this session is to share with early stage investigators best practices and strategies for NIH grant development. The workshop supports the NIH mission by enabling promising diverse postdoctoral, junior and mid-career faculty to finalize a highly competitive proposal to the NIH for neuroscience research (e.g. R01, R21, R15, etc.) or Career Development Award (K) by the end of the workshop. This effort is part of the NINDS mission and commitment to the development of a biomedical research workforce that is representative of the diversity in American society. It is also an intervention designed to address lower success rate of NIH awards in particular minority groups [based on the findings in D. K. Ginther et al. Science 333, 1015–1019 (2011)]. NINDS seeks to promote diversity in all of its training and research programs and to increase the participation of underrepresented groups.
