Tips are provided on organizing results, teams and timelines for the R01 application.
Scientific Outreach and Grantsmanship Part 6 Writing Grant ProposalsDavid Tng
Scientific outreach and grant writing are skills that will be essential throughout the career of is a researcher. This course is designed to provide tips for scientific outreach to, and more importantly, beyond the scientific community, and also to introduce the subject of grant writing for various formats of grant applications. This powerpoint presentation contains Part 6 of the course on Grants Writing that was first delivered as an optional discipline module at the Institute of Biology, Federal University of Bahia Oct-Nov 2018.
So what is research anyway?
It's not a set of steps 1-2-3 that you can check off and be done with. Research is more like a map that has you retrace your steps from time to time. You might need to go backwards-- not because you messed up, but because you learned something new about your topic or discovered a new direction in which to take your research.
Retracing your steps is built into the research process!

*What to consider when choosing a journal
*Tools to help you choose
*Where NOT to publish

Identifying and securing funding within higher education can mean the difference between a program continuing or ending, or a dissertation being completed on time, if at all. Understanding how to find appropriate funding opportunities, compose grant applications, and successfully secure funding for personal or organizational projects is a skill that can be helpful no matter your position. This session aims to assist higher education / student affairs practitioners and students in exploring the world of grants and external funding.

Dissecting the Critical Specific Aims Page of an NIH Grant by Madison HedrickMadison Hedrick, MA
For many NIH reviewers, one page can make or break the entire grant application—the Specific Aims page. In this session, we will overview the elements of the Specific Aims section, and show before and after examples. These examples will show how the incorporation of the tools presented in the presentation can significantly change the impact of the Aims page. I will then provide information and statistics on the Specific Aims page and its importance in terms of the grant application and tips and tricks to increase the effectiveness of your Aims page.

Research to Better Engage HIV+ Former Prisoners in HIV ServicesUCLA CTSI
The purpose of this project is to better understand the post-incarceration needs and resources of HIV+ former prisoners. This population has a poor history of remaining in medical care, resulting in increased viral load, morbidity and disease transmission risk. We have analyzed records of 363 Spectrum case management clients, developed a focus group discussion interview guide and recruitment tools, and received IRB approval to conduct focus groups.

Primary care-based, teleretinal-screening protocol (Los Angeles Safety Net) UCLA CTSI
UCLA CTSI-Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) Projects
Principal Investigators: Lauren Daskivich (DHS), Carol Mangione (UCLA)
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among working-age Americans, and among Los Angeles Latinos—the ethnic majority of patients in the Los Angeles County (LAC) safety net—the prevalence of DR is ~50%. Despite evidence that early detection and treatment can prevent blindness from DR, a significant number of persons with diabetes in our system fail to receive annual screening examinations and/or sight-saving treatments due to lack of access to specialty care. To date, the effect of a system level intervention on improving access to eye care and definitive treatment for diabetic retinopathy in an urban medically underserved, or safety net, population has not been evaluated. The objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of teleretinal screening on access to specialty ophthalmic care for diabetic patients in LAC who need monitoring or treatment for diabetic retinopathy. We propose a pre-post analysis of the LAC teleretinal screening implementation, and we aim to evaluate the number of patients screened for diabetic retinopathy, the number presenting for timely ophthalmic follow-up care and treatment, and the cost of the program.

Writing effective grant proposals for Collections projectsCollections Trust
The Collections Trust has created over £15m in successful grant proposals since 2008. In this presentation, CEO Nick Poole explores what it takes to write an effective grant proposal, what to avoid and where to look for funding.
The success of your live presentation doesn't just depend on your public speaking style, but also on how engaging the content being presented is. For scientists, data rich presentations pose a unique challenge because they are often perceived as dull and uninspiring with most of the content focusing strictly on results. The truth is that motivating and engaging a broad audience is difficult to accomplish with just data.
For starters, to make your data rich presentations “come alive” you need to make sure you and your message, and not your PowerPoint slides, take center stage.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to anticipate and plan for an R grant
application
2. Outline
• Strategies
for
making
the
most
of
the
research
you
conduct
during
the
K
award
• The
importance
of
rela:onship
building
at
the
NIH
• Keep
an
eye
out
for
the
FOAs
and
RFAs
that
are
the
best
fit
for
your
work
• GeDng
Organized:
– Your
results
– Your
team
– Your
:meline
3. Making
the
most
of
the
K
research
• Early
on,
try
to
iden:fy
at
least
one
research
ques:on
and
testable
hypothesis
that
is
important
regardless
of
the
direc:on
or
significance
of
your
findings.
• If
you
can
link
the
K
research
to
the
first
R
grant
this
will
help
you
have
strong
preliminary
studies
and
it
will
be
easier
to
defend
why
the
work
proposed
in
the
R
is
the
most
important
and
logical
next
step
and
why
you
are
the
best
PI
to
do
this
work
4. Making
the
most
of
the
K
research
• Get
out
front
with
your
research
findings
so
that
you
start
to
develop
a
name
and
iden:ty
in
your
field
– Present
your
work
at
the
most
important
mee:ngs
– Take
advantage
of
opportuni:es
to
par:cipate
in
NIH
conferences
and
other
symposia
in
your
field
– Get
to
know
the
most
prominent
scien:sts
in
your
field
so
that
you
can
get
their
input
on
your
work
– Publish…
try
not
to
get
scooped!
– Time
is
your
most
precious
commodity,
don’t
waste
it
on
low
yield
ac:vi:es
–
If
you
are
not
sure
which
ones
fall
in
this
category,
talk
to
your
mentor
5. Be
aware
of
who
else
is
working
in
your
area
of
research!
• Literature

• NIH

6. Making
the
most
of
the
K
research
• Look
for
opportuni:es
to
be
independent
of
your
mentor
– In
some
fields
this
is
accomplished
by
working
and
publishing
with
more
than
one
senior
researcher
– Or,
you
may
have
the
opportunity
to
“PI”
a
smaller
founda:on
grant
in
your
field
that
is
related
to
or
is
an
extension
of
your
main
work
– Early
on,
talk
to
your
mentor
about
what
you
should
do
now
or
in
the
next
couple
of
years
so
that
when
the
first
R
goes
in
with
you
as
PI
there
will
not
be
ques:ons
about
your
independence.
