The Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD)
- is one of the three sectoral councils of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).
- It is a forward-looking, partnership-based national body responsible for coordinating and monitoring research activities in the country.
- was created on March 17, 1982 through Executive order No. 784. In 1987, Executive Order No. 128 reaffirmed its existence and relevance. This directive reorganized the National Science and Technology Authority into what is now the Department of Science and Technology.
NIH Research grants (R series) are an important funding mechanism for independent investigators as these awards offer the opportunity to head up major research projects.
In this presentation, Dr. Ian de Boer will leverage his experience from winning six different R awards to provide R series grant writing strategies. He explores: which R award is best for you; readiness and qualifications for independent support; formulating focused and solid research strategies; how to avoid common mistakes; tips for early investigators; and NIH expectations and grant requirements.
