About The CourseWelcome to the CoursePlus Web site for SCIENTIFIC GRANT WRITING (260.625.01), a course offered by the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Covers the critical components of a scientific grant application, common errors in grantsmanship and how to avoid them, grant application review criteria, ethics related to grant writing and reviewing, and identification of funding sources. Students prepare a short (6-page) proposal and a revision of this same proposal following review. Proposal topics are selected by the student and developed with the instructor. Students also prepare critiques of classmates’ anonymous, instructor-edited proposals for discussion in class.
Upon successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
- identify essential components of hypothesis-driven research plans,
- construct a compelling proposal that reviewers can appreciate,
- gain grantsmanship skills by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of other proposals,
- experience the strengths and caveats of a peer-review system
PhD/Masters students in the bench sciences, but other participating disciplines include clinical research investigators, epidemiology, other.
