HGEN 0512 - Capstone Project

Description
This course is a thorough introduction to applying for research funding, specifically from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The course is intended to tie the student’s prior course learning into an integrated whole to provide the basis for independently writing an original genomics-related research proposal. This proposal is expected be developed to professional quality, with scientific rigor, merit, and formatted in a way that it could be submitted to NIH for a research grant and accepted for review. Prior to completion, students will be required to act as each other’s peer reviewers to provide constructive feedback to increase the quality of the proposal. Proposals will not be submitted to NIH as a part of this course, but successful graduates may use their proposals upon completion to seek research funding independently if they wish.
