Practical Tips on Getting Your Grant Funded, a two-part seminar on grant writing sponsored by ASNR and the Neuroradiology Education and Research (NER) Foundation, has been added to the program for the ASNR 42nd Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington. Janet S. Rasey, Ph.D., Director of the Research Funding Service at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington and a retired Professor of Radiation Oncology, will present this seminar specifically designed for young investigators with an interest in writing funded research proposals.

The workshop, presented over 2 days (4 hr/day) on Monday, June 7 and u Tuesday, June 8, 2004, will focus on three major areas in the grant writing process: Before You Write, Writing the Grant, and The Review Process. Topics covered will include the elements of writing a competitive research grant with an emphasis on NIH R01 proposals and an explanation of grant review procedures and psychology. Enrollment is limited to 25 participants. While no fee is being charged for the seminar, those interested in attending must apply to ASNR. Accepted applicants must register for the ASNR meeting.
