Toxicology research at academic institutions is supported by
various extramural research funding mechanisms, of which the
most common are research grants and fellowships. These research
grants can be obtained either by investigator-initiated, generally
unsolicited, or in response to research funding announcements
by various funding agencies. Traditionally, the major research
support for understanding the impact of toxic substances on public
health is supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and
its 26 different Institutes or Centers. While the National Institute
of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) supports toxicology
research efforts to understand the impact of environmental pollutants,
the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)
supports research grants for a wide variety of agents including
pharmaceuticals. Some of the federal agencies, such as the National
Science Foundation, support research in the areas of environmental
biology. Numerous non-profit organizations including the
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA)
Foundation also provide research grant support, starting from predoctoral
to sabbatical opportunities in pharmacology, toxicology
and informatics. A representative Program Director from NIGMS,
NIEHS, NSF and PhRMA Foundation will present the opportunities,
tools, and skills needed for successful research funding. In
highlighting this important funding opportunity available, one
presentation will focus exclusively on successful grant writing
noting specific requirements such as the correct mix of scientific
knowledge and salesmanship to enable your to navigate NIH
funding.
