Video Summary
This webinar on grant writing for translational research featured advice from three experts on NIH career development awards, alternative funding, and proposal strategy. Dr. Gail Atler explained the NIH funding ladder from training awards (T32, F awards) to K awards and then R01s, emphasizing that applicants must read the specific instructions, understand review criteria, and clearly show a real need for additional training. She stressed that grants should tell a coherent story, be feasible, and be polished and error-free. If rejected, applicants should use reviewer feedback constructively and resubmit.<br /><br />Dr. Jessica Fetterman shared her path from small grants to a K01 and eventually an R01, highlighting persistence, strong mentorship, and building a niche that combines prior expertise with new skills. She advised using reviewer critiques to strengthen applications, seeking peer mentors for accountability, and recognizing that the path to funding is rarely linear.<br /><br />Dr. Anita Arroda described non-traditional funding through clinical trials, especially industry- and academia-sponsored studies. She outlined a practical 10-step approach: identify your interests, connect with sponsors and mentors, assess feasibility and ethics, build the team and workflow, manage recruitment and retention, and contribute academic outputs.<br /><br />The panel also discussed cautious, limited use of AI, the importance of mentorship, and why multiple review cycles are common in a highly competitive funding environment.
