This comprehensive session will provide an overview to the grants and review processes for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Target audience includes early-stage faculty and pre- and post-doctoral investigators planning to conduct behavioral cancer control research. The presentation will specifically cover the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) perspectives on: (1) developing a research program, and (2) the NIH application and review process within the realm of behavioral research in cancer control. Taught by an experienced Program Director in the Process of Care Research Branch, this presentation will familiarize the participants with the structure of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), how it supports and funds innovative research, and all aspects of the NIH Peer Review System. Participants will also learn about the diversity of the NCI funding community and how to respond to various funding opportunity announcements. In addition, the session will cover the peer review process, scoring system, grant review policies, roles of the NIH staff (including Scientific Review Officers, Program Officers, and Grant Specialists), special consideration for new investigators, funding decisions, and procedures and online resources for grant preparation.
