2012 NIH Regional Seminars

“The NIH Regional Seminars are intended for those new to the grants process, including sponsored project officers and departmental administrators, investigators, faculty, graduate students, etc. However, it is also an opportunity for those with more experience to obtain updates on grants policies and procedures.  These seminars are expected to draw approximately 500-600 attendees, providing extended opportunities for sharing and learning from peers as well as NIH experts. Due to the popularity of these seminars, early registration is highly recommended.  Space is limited.”  oApril 16-18, 2012 Indianapolis, IndianaoJune 20-22, 2012, Washington, DCttp://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-12-040.html
