A key component to establishing an independent research program is securing grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and by doing so, scientists can contribute new knowledge to the base of substance-related dysfunction and treatment. As such, a core component of our training program is to teach postdocs how to write competitive NIH grant applications though a highly structured and intensive 16-week curriculum that spans didactic, practical, and mentored training opportunities.It should be noted, however, that submitting the grant proposal to the NIH is not part of the training experience. Opportunities for postdocs to submit grants from the School of Public Health are not guaranteed and are determined annually.
