Extramural funding has always been a backbone of academic research and NIH
is the leading federal institute to fund extramural research grants with a
fiscal year (FY) 2006 budget of over 28 million. Although traditionally toxicology
researchers have received funding from a wide spectrum of the 20 NIH institutes,
the NIEHS and NIGMS have been of particular interest in terms of funding chemical
toxicology and environmental health related research projects. Two speakers
will help to elucidate the grantsmanship process during this session. Dr. Pat
Mastin, Chief of Cellular, Organ and Systems Pathobiology Branch at NIEHS,
will discuss the new funding initiatives by the NIEHS including a discussion
of the recent NHEH’s Genes and Environment Initiative, ONES awards, etc.
Dr. Raymesh Nayak, a consultant to NIH and DOD, will offer his insights from
over 30 years of experience working as a Scientific Review Administrator at
NIH. These experts will share their views on successful grant writing, electronic
submission, novel funding opportunities by NIEHS, NIGMS, and DOD. The presentations
will address areas of interest to all academic scientists at a number of stages
of their career. Moreover, Dr. Nayak will show a ‘Mock study section
video” for early career investigators to be well versed with the peer-review
procedure. This video will provide essential, practical information for graduate
students, postdocs and early to mid academic investigators.
