*NIH VIRTUAL TRAINING*



*NIH Virtual Seminar <https://nihvirtualseminar2021.vfairs.com/>*

*November 1-4, 2021*

The annual NIH Virtual Seminar is a great opportunity for those new to the
NIH process to learn about the NIH grant process, and for attendees to meet
with experts from grants, program, and review from across NIH. This event
will be 100% virtual with concurrent sessions in the afternoon and an
exhibit hall where each IC, including NIEHS, will have a booth. This is a
great chance for trainees, early stage investigators, and new
administrators to learn more about NIH.

Held over five sessions, participants will gain practical information for
navigating the NIH funding process, including how to:

•            Understand NIH funding opportunities

•            Effectively communicate with NIH program officials

•            Compete for NIH funding

This training aims to enhance attendees’ ability to apply for NIH funding
to conduct research studies, increase research capacity, provide research
training opportunities, and engage in bi-directional communication with NIH
Institutes.
