The National Enrichment Program (NEP) Conference
Participants attending the NEP conference on June 6, 2024 represented 35 ESIs and 18 faculty from across 23 institutions (CDTRs, HBCUs, an HSI & AANAPISI).
How to get your first major NIH award
The conference featured a panel presentation about how to get one's first major NIH award funded. The panel featured Drs. Katrina Serrano, Pamela Thornton and Rafael Gorospe from NIDDK, as well as three ESI’s who recently secured their first K01 or R01 award.
Fishbowl Activity
Each ESI received feedback on their 'Fishbowl' work in progress on the specific aims of their next NIH grant submission. A moderator was assigned for each group to keep time and ensure everyone had a chance to provide senior or peer mentoring feedback.
