Grant Writing in Population Health Sciences

Description from DukeHub

This course contains lecture-based and active learning sessions. Content includes lectures combined with class discussions on format and structure of grant applications, concepts in peer review, best practices in articulating study design and data outcomes, rigor and reproducibility in a research plan, and crafting population health science significance statements. Students write an NIH-style proposal and actively participate in mock study sections. This course introduces students to writing and critiquing grant proposals, while also preparing them for writing their dissertation proposal.
