Fri, 12/1 Inaugural Grant Spotlight Series event, hosted by MD Anderson

Are you planning to submit a K99/R00 grant? Do you need a source of inspiration or an example of a fundable grant to get you started on your writing journey, or to polish off your current K99/R00 application? Do you want to know what K99/R00 grant reviewers look for as indicators of success?
If so, then join the Research Education and Training department for its Grant Spotlight Series.
The inaugural Grant Spotlight Series event begins on Friday, December 1, 2023 at 1:00 - 2:30 pm CT, via Zoom. This event will feature three panelists who will focus on the NIH K99/R00 funding mechanism. Our first panelist is an MD Anderson professor and reviewer of NIH K awards. The other panelists are two former MD Anderson postdocs (and current Assistant Professors at other institutions) who are K99/R00 recipients and are currently in the R00 phase of their awards. At this event, learn what reviewers look for in a successful application and how our panelists structured their career development plans and responded to critiques. Domestic and Non-Domestic Postdocs are eligible for K99/R00 awards.
Panelists: 

· Clifton (Dave) Fuller, MD, PHD, Professor, Radiation Oncology, UT MD Anderson Cancer Center (NIH K Awards Reviewer)

· Guan-Yu Xiao, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Kentucky, Toxicology & Cancer Biology Department (K99/R00 recipient)

· Ivan HC Wu, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Dept of Epidemiology and Community Health (K99/R00 recipient)
