Biomed Researchers Can Strengthen NIH “R01” Grant Applications With New Manual From Principal Investigators Association

May 19, 2011 — Naples, FL — An eight-section instructional manual, newly issued by Principal Investigators Association (PIA), will help biomedical scientists submit more competitive applications for the highly-sought R01 grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the federal government’s biggest funder of medical research.

“Competition among researchers for limited grant money is tougher than ever,” says publisher Leslie C. Norins, MD, PhD. “On top of that, scientists must cope with the many requirements of a new NIH application format. We found there to be a great need for independent coaching information to help researchers present the strongest case they can to be among the 20 percent of applicants who win funding.”

Each section instructs on a separate, important part of the R01 grant application. These include: Biosketch, abstract, environment, research plan, budget and compliance with the review process. With more than 25 years of continuous NIH funding, Consulting Editor Dorothy Lewis, PhD, served as peer reviewer.

The manual contains eight individual sections totaling 290 pages in digital format. It is currently available at an early-bird rate of $399 (regular price $599). A printed, spiral bound version is available for $75 extra. PIA provides buyers a 100 percent money-back guarantee if they’re not fully satisfied.

This instructional manual is independent and not connected with, or endorsed by, NIH. All opinions expressed are those of the authors and not of any agency or government official. Therefore, it gives impartial advice and recommendations because PIA does not have to stick to “the party line.”

PIA is an independent not-for-profit organization that helps scientists in all fields master their operational and financial challenges.
