SurPASS Tip of the Month
CTSI Offering Virtual Seminar Series on Methods in Grant Preparation
The Clinical & Translational Science Institute of Southeast Wisconsin (CTSI) is offering a virtual seminar series on Methods in Grant Preparation, hosted and directed by Joseph Barbieri, PhD.
Methods in Grant Preparation is a 13-week seminar conducted via Zoom. This series addresses how to succinctly state overall and specific hypotheses and specific aims with affirmation and relevance. It also suggests specific writing styles with the intent of clearly stating the importance of the specific aims and bringing them to fruition. The series is recommended for faculty, staff, and other individuals who are currently or will be working on one or more grant proposals.
This seminar series presents advanced principles in grant preparation:
- Match participants to a F-, K-, or R01- NIH grant
- Frequent writing exercises for clarity and purpose
- Defining Innovation, Training, and Significance
- Stating and testing Hypotheses
- Completion of a “Specific Aims Page”
The series is offered on Wednesdays, January 4 - March 30, 2023 from 5pm – 7pm
Seminar series registration period: November 1, 2022 – December 21, 2022
Clinical Research Tip of the Month
Summer Academic programs for Medical Students (SAMS)
The MCW Medical Student and Summer Research Programs are collectively referred to as the “Summer Academic programs for Medical Students” or SAMS for short (P is silent). MCW will retain the MSSRP designation exclusively for research carried out by medical students over the summer and academic year.
Students actively participate on a research team supervised by MCW faculty, and gain opportunities to observe how new discoveries translate into the development of new drugs, devices, and treatment modalities, and to explore basic science, clinical or translational research and potential research careers. Publishing and presenting are two program goals.
A limited number of 6, 8, 10, or 11-week paid, full-time (40 hours per week) summer fellowships are awarded competitively to MCW medical students wishing to participate in a rigorous research or academic experience during the summer between the M1 and M2 years.
Medical students are responsible for identifying a preceptor for their application. Faculty members interested in being a preceptor can contact Chamia Gary, SAMS Program Manager, at cgary@mcw.edu.
