2025 NORDP Presentation
As research funding becomes increasingly competitive, organizations seek resources to give their researchers an advantage. Faculty development in grantwriting is one such resource. However, such an initiative comes with challenges: In-person consultant programs can be prohibitively expensive, and creating and running programs fully in-house requires a great deal of staff time and specific expertise. Attempting to schedule already over-scheduled researchers poses an additional challenge.
We have clients from small and mid-sized universities who use our resources in a hybrid, flipped classroom model to solve for this problem. You can learn about this model for first-time applicants to NIH R-series grant programs in an upcoming talk: Dr. Bouvier and Melissa Whipps, Director of Research Development at Syracuse University, will present on this unique approach for teaching grantwriting skills at the 2025 NORDP Virtual Conference.
In this training model, researchers watch our virtual course lessons asynchronously, then join their onsite Syracuse cohort and mentors for synchronous discussion of content, to work on sections of their applications, and to provide and receive peer review. We support their learning with synchronous aspects of our membership: Biweekly live Q & A, monthly virtual office hours, and livestream bootcamps three times per year.
The hybrid concept lowers the lift for small to mid-size groups looking for quality, cost-effective, up-to-date training options. Join our virtual presentation on May 1st at Noon ET to learn more.
