FAQ's
- If I sign up for the computer lab session, am I committed to submit an application for the next standard deadline?
- No, taking the class is not a commitment to submit. Often, attendees delay submitting their proposal until the next cycle. And, those same attendees who delay often choose to attend a second time closer to their deadline
- Will this course provide any suggestions on how to write a successful research proposal and/or tips about other attachments for specific research plans/career goals/etc.?
- During the class, we review each of the attachments. However, the class does not focus on grant writing but on completing the administrative sections of the application so that you can focus more of your time outside of the class on the scientific elements of the proposal.

- Can we bring our own iPad/laptop to the course to fill out electronic forms? The lab is equipped with a PC for each student. However, please bring your iPhone or SMART phone so you can access the two-step authentication code.
