Day Two (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.): Providing information about the application and review processes. People who do not seek more information about the application and review processes may forgo participation in the second day. Those interested in attending the second day are encouraged to participate on both days, even if they are not yet interested in developing a specific research project, as the presentations and discussions of research concepts will be informative. If you want to discuss a specific research concept during the first day of the workshop, you must submit a brief description of the proposed research study. Registration is free, but required. Please visit the workshop website for additional information, guidelines for concept paper development, and on-line registration please. Please share this information with any colleagues who may be considering applying for an NIH or AHRQ grant in health services research. |
