The grant application process, held on the mornings of May 2 and 3, will provide an overview of grant writing and the grant submission process with a focus on resources available at JABSOM. The manuscript writing workshop, held on the am of May 4, is intended to assist in successful manuscript writing. Participants at the May 4 session on “Writing a Research Article” are encouraged to review the article on the “Science of Science Writing” at
