The NIMH supports biomedical researchers from high school through college, early career investigator and senior investigator levels. Increasing knowledge and capacity to apply for research funding will result in increased ability of investigators to successfully lead research projects resulting in improved capacity for mental health research. This webinar will (1) introduce investigators to the NIMH; (2) highlight current research areas and areas of special interest to the Institute; (3) demystify the NIH application and review process. Topics will include the NIMH Strategic Plan, the Research Domain Categorization Project (RDoC), finding funding opportunities, the art of the concept paper, submitting your research grant application, what happens to your application once submitted to the NIH, what you can do to enhance the quality of your application, resources for early career investigators, and how to find NIMH staff that can help you navigate the process. 

This webinar is appropriate for new and early stage investigators, researchers, graduate students, grant administrators, and anyone interested in learning more about mental health research funding opportunities, the NIMH, NIH, and the grants process.

Space is limited.
