GrantsStudents are encouraged to seek extramural funding. Typically, applications are submitted early in the PhD phase and may cover training and research expenses during the PhD phase. A list of funding agencies is provided here. Students who are contemplating NIH applications should email the Director (Cliff Harding) for information before they write their proposal. Some NIH institutes will allow the budget period to extend beyond the PhD phase to cover the clinical curriculum after completion of the PhD and return to medical school. In general, it is best to request the maximum period of support allowed by the award mechanism, as unused portions may be returned to the funding agency if the program is completed before the end date of the grant, but it is usually not possible to have time added later. The Case MSTP annually brings in faculty to review the nuts and bolts of grant writing. Here are the resources from past years: - 2006 MSTP Summer Retreat, Dr. Alison Hall presents a workshop on NIH F and K grants relevant to MSTP students (download the 2006 presentation here). - 2007 MSTP Summer Retreat, Dr. Hall explains the "why" and "how" of grant applications. She focuses on the F30 grant - a grant designed specifically for MD/PhD students (download the 2007 presentation here). - 2008 MSTP Summer Retreat, Dr. Mike Maguire presents his Rules of Grant Writing, which is broken down into a set of easily memorized commandments!
