How
to Apply for Travel Awards
NIH
intends to provide approximately 20 travel awards to help support
young/early career ME/CFS investigators. The awards will cover travel
and hotel expenses for the April 3rd workshop and the associated
"Accelerating Research on ME/CFS" meeting on April 4th and
5th 2019. Undergraduate students, graduate students, medical
students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, and medical
residents/fellows are eligible to apply.
To apply please
submit the materials below to [email protected]
by
February
25th, 2019:
A CV or resume.
Information on where you plan to travel from and if you require funds for travel (airfare, train fare or car mileage).
A brief description of your background or interests in ME/CFS research (maximum 200 words).
Applicants
are not required to have prior ME/CFS research experience but should
explain their interest and reason for wanting to attend the
Workshop.
Optional: A Specific Aims page that describes a current, planned or hypothetical ME/CFS research project (maximum 1 page).
Providing
guidance and advice on NIH grant writing is a major goal of this
workshop. NIH program and review staff will provide feedback on your
Specifics Aims and guidance on how to best develop and structure an
NIH grant application if you want to submit a specific aims page in
advance.
The Specifics Aims page is a key part of NIH
grant applications and is meant to encapsulate the planned objectives
of your research project. For the purposes of this workshop, the
Specific Aims page can describe a planned or current study, or a
hypothetical study that has the potential to answer an interesting
ME/CFS research question.
The National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases provides useful guidance on drafting
Specifics Aims here
and a sample Specific Aims page from a Fellowship(F) application
here.
Optional: A Research Abstract (maximum 500 words).
This
section is not required for applicants who have no prior ME/CFS
research experience. The review of travel awards, however, will give
priority to applicants submitting an abstract.
Individuals
who submit an abstract and are chosen for travel awards may be asked
to give short presentations at the Young Investigator Workshop and
will participate in a poster session at the "Accelerating
Research on ME/CFS" meeting on April 4-5, 2019.
Abstracts
should describe an ME/CFS related research project in 500 words or
less. Abstracts should contain the following
sections:
-Title
-Authors
and Affiliations
- Introduction, Methods, Results,
Conclusions
-Figures (optional / 2 maximum)
-References
Please email any questions about the application process to [email protected].
