2006
On January 11, 2006, Sponsored Projects will be hosting the
live web cast session on NIH's New Electronic Grant
Application Process and the SF424 (R&R). The viewing will
be held in the Catalina Room on the third floor of the
Student Union starting at 11:00am and run until
approximately 2:30pm. This training session, geared toward
the applicant community, will provide an overview of NIH's
transition plans, the submission process and the new form
set. By May 2007 all research grant applications for NIH
will have to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov
using the SF424 Research & Related (R&R) form set. A
question and answer session will follow the formal
presentation. Sponsored Projects staff will be present to
answer questions and we can
also email or phone in our questions to the presenters
during the session.
If you can't make it to the screening or wish to watch it
from your personal computer you can view the live web cast
