NRMN-Proposal Preparation Program (P3)

Program Details
In today's highly competitive funding climate, the importance of strong proposal writing skills cannot be overstated. Investigators must assume that their great research ideas will be competing against a wealth of other great ideas; the proposals that 'rise above' are those that spark an exceptionally high level of enthusiasm in reviewers by presenting compelling arguments for not only the research's methodologic rigor, but also the project's anticipated impact on the field, significance for various stakeholders (patients, researchers, clinicians, investigators in different but related fields), degree of innovation, and alignment with the funding agency's priority areas. All of these proposal features are addressed during coaching sessions within the NRMN-P3 program. The NRMN-P3 model offers two cohort this fall, including:

3. NRMN-P3 at University of  California  Davis
In-person kickoff: September 19-20, 2016
Application deadline:  August 1, 2016 

4. NRMN-P3 at University of Minnesota
In-person kickoff:  December 5-6, 2016
Application deadline:  September 29 , 2016
