Overview:
The Office of Extramural Research (OER) sponsors semiannual NIH Regional Seminars on Program Funding and Grants. This seminar is intended to help demystify the application and review process, clarify Federal regulations and policies, and highlight current areas of special interest or concern. The seminar serves the NIH mission of providing education and training for the next generation of biomedical and behavioral scientist. NIH policies, grants management, review and program staff provides a broad array of expertise and encourage personal interaction between themselves and seminar participants. The seminars are appropriate for grants administrators, researchers new to NIH, and graduate students.
 
The NIH eRA Commons is an on-line connection to NIH for information on pending applications and awarded grants as well as a gateway for the electronic facilitation of many routine business processes.  An overview of the eRA systems will be covered in the Regional Seminar itself and an eRA booth will be staffed throughout the two-day seminar to answer questions, but for those who prefer a hands-on orientation to computer systems we are offering a 2 ∏ hr computer lab on Wednesday, March 7 following the Seminar on the U of U campus.  The lab will be held in the morning and repeated in the afternoon.  There is an additional fee for these labs.   Space is limited.
