Grand
Hyatt Hotel
San Antonio, Texas
Overview:
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio is hosting
the March, 2008 Regional Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration
on behalf of the National Institutes of Health, Office of Extramural
Research (OER). The regional seminar is intended to help demystify the
application and review process, clarify Federal regulations and policies,
and highlight current areas of special interest or concern. The seminars
serve the NIH mission of providing education and training for the next
generation of biomedical and behavioral scientists. NIH policy officials,
grants management and program staff, as well as representatives from
OHRP and OLAW, will provide a broad array of expertise and encourage
personal interaction between themselves and seminar participants. The
seminars are appropriate for grants administrators, new and experienced
researchers, and graduate students.
The NIH eRA Commons is an on-line connection to NIH for information
on pending applications and awarded grants as well as a gateway for
the electronic facilitation of many routine business processes. An overview
of the eRA systems will be covered in the Regional Seminar itself and
an eRA booth will be staffed throughout the two-day seminar to answer
questions, but for those who prefer a hands-on orientation to computer
systems we are offering several computer lab sessions on Thursday, March
27th following the seminar. There is an additional fee for these labs.
Space is limited.
