‘Grants, Contracts, and the National Institutes of Health’ workshop Nov. 8
The University of Maine Office of Research Development will present “Grants, Contracts, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)” on Nov. 8.
The workshop, which will be held at 2:30 p.m. in the Bangor Room of the Memorial Union, will include a presentation by Terry Yoo, an associate professor in the UMaine School of Computing and Information Science.
In his talk, Yoo will cover some perspectives on federal grantsmanship as well as a view of the inside of NIH, and an individual vision for research. As a long-standing project officer at NIH, his views will include explaining the public information about that agency.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn basic tactics for writing grant proposals, what makes a promising line of research by combining technology and biomedicine, the organization structure and policies of NIH and how it compares to other federal agencies, and strategies for approaching the federal grant application process.
Yoo has a part-time appointment with the Office of Research Development. Prior to joining the UMaine faculty, he was a 20-year member of the intramural research program at the NIH where he served as the head of the 3D Informatics Group in the Office of High Performance Computing and Communications at the National Library of Medicine.
More about Yoo and the workshop is online.
The workshop is free and open to the public. For more information about the event, contact Jason Charland at 581.2461 or jason.charland@maine.edu.
