National Institutes of Health (NIH) Funding Information session The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the largest funder of health research globally. NIH funds research projects through various funding mechanisms, with multiple funding schemes open at any given time. These include broad agency calls that span the breadth of NIH’s mission, to more targeted, purpose-driven funding opportunities. The success rate of their standard Research Project Grant (R01) scheme is about 20%. Unlike other US Federal Funding agencies, many of the NIH’s funding opportunities are open to international researchers. This session will offer an introduction to NIH funding generally and how to identify suitable funding opportunities open to international researchers. It will also offer a crash course in navigating eRA Commons, the NIH’s online submission portal, and a guide to the application process. Speakers include; Dr Joey Gaynor, Senior Research Funding Specialist (US Funding), Research Development Office, Trinity Research & Innovation

How to design a data management plan Good data governance and stewardship are fundamental to good research practice. This short workshop will offer a guide to College and external resources and supports which promote best practice in the design and costing of Data Management Plans (DMPs) for research projects. It will address data management and FAIR requirements when writing funding applications and when creating full research DMPs. FAIR data (data which is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) will also be discussed in the context of the principle that data should be “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”. Making data FAIR has become an important principle for funders and, following the lead of the European Commission, Irish funders, including the Health Research Board (HRB), Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and Irish Research Council (IRC) are now asking researchers to state in their DMPs how they will make their data FAIR. The training will be delivered by Darach Golden, Research IT Manager. Registration Monday 6th March 2023 @ 12:00 PM by zoom Register in advance |
