ORDE Summer eSeminar Series

In case you're feeling in a rut this summer, ORDE is happy to share our summer eSeminar series on a series of grant development topics. CU Denver and Anschutz Medical Campus faculty are welcome to register here. And for other folks, we will post the recordings on our Vimeo site shortly after.

Writing Specific Aims and Project Overviews

June 24, 2020

12:00 – 1:00 pm

Presenter: Naomi Nishi, Associate Director for Educational Outreach, ORDE

When it comes to grant proposals, your project overview or specific aims has been likened to the front door of your proposal. Even though reviewers may skip around your proposal, most start with the Project Overview/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/project overview crucial to your competitiveness. Join us for this e-seminar where you’ll learn strategies for constructing your specific aims/project overview to make it as clear and compelling as possible.

Working with Program Officers

July 14, 2020

12:00 – 1:00 pm

Presenter: Naomi Nishi, Associate Director for Educational Outreach, ORDE

Program Officers are key when it comes to grant funding. They orchestrate an agency’s review process as well as reviewer selection, they help set the direction and priorities for an agency’s research agenda, and they have insight into what it takes to develop a competitive proposal for their agency. Thus, it is important to work with Program Officers as you develop your proposal. Join us for this e-seminar where you’ll learn step-by-step approaches to contacting and continuing to work with Program Officers.

Revising and Resubmitting your Grant Proposal

August 6, 2020

12:00 – 1:30 pm

Presenter: Jennifer Kemp, Director, Research Office, Department of Medicine, School of Medicine

Few things are as disappointing as not getting your grant proposal funded, but it’s important to remember that all of the most funded researchers have had many proposals declined. What makes them successful, though, is that they didn’t let those rejections stop them. They listened to their reviewers, worked with their Program Officer, went back to the drawing board, and resubmitted a better proposal. Join us for this seminar where a faculty expert will discuss the resubmission process and how to be successful through it.
