Frequently Asked Questions


Training Grant Support

Developing an NIH training grant application is a complicated and time-consuming undertaking over many months. The experts at the Office of Research Affairs can help assemble the complex data and letters of support required for training grant tables.

Allow at least 4 months before the submission deadline to ensure enough time to:

  • Gather data and generate the tables
  • Source and develop the necessary letters of support

For statistics on trainees, contact the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars


Data Management & Sharing

Data is the DNA of good science. To ensure the integrity of research data, investigators are required to have a plan for the management and sharing of data. Learn more about NIH policies for data management and sharing. TBD IF THIS ITEM SHOULD HAVE AN ADD INTERNAL LINK TO DMS SECTION UNDER COMPLIANCE & ETHICS; IF NOT WHERE SHOULD IT GO??
