The arrangement by FASEB was very impressive. This seminar/workshop should be given to Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows before they begin their careers. I benefited immensely. Thank you.”   “This is a very informative and useful workshop. I am extremely glad I attended it.”   “Most informative seminar! Tips and anecdotes were very helpful.”   “The information in the book works. I have three copies – one for home, one for the office and a spare. I use the book like a bible! I have applied for an R01.” [Update: Investigator’s R01 application was funded.] “Full of powerful information that is critical to professors, graduate students, and postdoctorates. Should be a permanent part of graduate curriculum. This is my first formal grant writing seminar ... I learned more in 1.5 days than I did in my semester long microbiology course that had us write a mock proposal. Thank you!”   “This seminar was very useful and exciting. I now have the tools to complete a successful proposal! Dr. Stephen Russell is an awesome instructor. Thank you!”   “This is an excellent workshop. Of all the grant writing workshops that I have attended within the past two years, this is the BEST!” “Best workshop I ever attended!”   “I enjoyed every minute of the seminar. I look forward to another opportunity to attend this workshop.”   “I thought this was going to be the usual grant writing workshop, and I had planned to attend for a few hours. The first hour of this workshop convinced me that I must not miss a minute of the workshop. It is informative and I am convinced that going forward I am a better grant writer. I am looking forward to my next successful application. I will recommend this workshop to anyone interested in writing a successful application.”   For more information about the program and registration process, contact Carol Bieschke (marc@faseb.org).  Telephone: (301) 634-7021   NIH Grants Resources: - NIH Grants Seminars (Coelho, 2009) - Grant Writers' Seminars & Workshops, LLC List of Scheduled Seminars - 2009: - 2009 (Aug. 28-29): Virginia Beach, VA (For Postdocs/Graduate Students) Previous Seminars: - 2009 (Jun. 19): FASEB Campus; Bethesda, MD - 2008 (Aug. 22): FASEB/Bethesda Marriott; Bethesda, MD - 2007 (Aug. 10): FASEB/Bethesda Marriott; Bethesda, MD
