2013 PROGRAM: NIH Regional Seminar on Program Funding and Grants Administration

Wednesday, June 26, 2013: Optional eRA Workshop - Overview (printable) (PDF - 164 KB)Due to high demand the eRA Workshop is SOLD OUT

Through a combination of presentations, live demos, and discussion, this workshop  moves participants through all the pre-award and post-award electronic touch points with NIH from submitting a grant application all the way to grant closeout. The session is designed to be interactive and participants are encouraged to bring questions and share their experiences.

Thursday - Friday, June 27-28, 2013: 2-Day Seminar
To assist attendees in identifying sessions that may be of the most interest, there are "tracks" for administrators and researchers, as well as a track for both audiences. However, the sessions are open to all attendees and seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Note:  This year, registration costs do not include food.  There is a food court available near the session rooms as well as nearby local restaurants.
