From GMaP Region 3: Writing your Specific Aims - Tomorrow!
*A webinar from GMaP Region 3 with Dr. Naomi Nishi
Date: June 17, 2020
Time: 1:00 pm MST
To register, click here. 

When it comes to NIH grants, the Specific Aims has been likened to the front door of your proposal. Even though reviewers may skip around your proposal, most start with the Specific Aims and have a pretty good idea of whether they like your proposal or not based on that one page. This makes your Specific Aims crucial to your competitiveness. Join us for this webinar, where you’ll learn strategies for constructing your Specific Aims to make it as clear and compelling as possible.
Naomi Nishi, PhD
Dr. Nishi is a scholar-practitioner with 15 years’ experience working with and in higher education. She has served as the Associate Director for Educational Outreach in the Office of Research Development and Education for 7 of those years, serving both the University of Colorado Denver and Anschutz Medical Campuses in grant development.
