Grant review training:
The Duke CFAR Developmental Core provides CFAR members exposure to the grant review process by allowing CFARfaculty and postdoctoral trainees to observe the small grant review process to learn the types of discussions that develop during a grant review meeting. At this time, those observing the small grant review are permitted to observe the discussion but they are not permitted access to the small grants or the reviewer’s written critiques.
Would you be willing to allow your CFAR Developmental Core small grant application and summary statement to be used in future grant review training sessions?
