The Grant Rant

The Grant Rant is proud to share episode 1 of our new series, the NIH! In each episode we'll look at a new aspect of the NIH for grantseekers, including the R series, fellowships, resubmissions, and more. 

In this episode, Grants Consultant Tom Kuhn walks us through the fundamental elements of the NIH - the Institutes and Centers, the difference between a PO and an SRO, and how to begin thinking about the nation's largest federal funder.

What are Center proposals (aside from the fodder of nightmares for many PIs and administrators alike)? Senior Grants Consultant Sarah Ott joins us today to chat about Center proposals and cover topics including when to submit, when not to submit, how to deal with difficult personalities, and (everyone's favorite) version control. Listen in on how you can be better prepared for a Center submission (and why Sarah is going to be covering her laptop in foil from now on).
