Goals

• Enable promising junior and mid-career faculty to complete a highly competitive proposal to the NIH for patient-oriented rehabilitation research (e.g. R01, R21, etc.) or career development (K series awards) by the end of the workshop. (Participants are expected to bring a copy of their draft research plan to the workshop).
Provide guidance in grant writing, clinical trial design, biostatistics, informatics, collaboration, grantsmanship, budgeting, and career development through lectures and individual consultation.
• Develop a cadre of well-trained, experienced clinical researchers whose expertise will foster better rehabilitation research design.
