Objective of the course is to help develop skills in grant seeking and proposal writing. General information about identification of funding agencies, areas of research and program priorities, components of a grant application, internal institutional review process (i.e., animal care and recombinant DNA), formats, scientific integrity, and the review process will be given. The major assignment will consist of a grant proposal writing project carried out with close consultation of the instructor. Due to the nature of this course, enrollment will be limited. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
