PH 290 Doctoral Seminar - Communicating your research for professional and lay audiences – Grants, Papers and Presentations.

This three-term seminar aims to enhance skills in research communication. Term One will focus on developing a full NIH grant application and understanding all steps on the grant journey. Terms Two and Three will focus on how to communicate science to different audiences using different mediums. Participants must be actively writing papers and grants.

Based on participants' background and interest, the seminar will cover a range of topics including PowerPoint presentations, talks to professional and lay audiences, posters, abstracts, articles for professional journals, and research grants. The course leaders will present brief didactic material and invite expert speakers (journal editors, master grant writers), but the primary method is peer presentations and review.

 

The seminar meets for three terms (10 sessions each term) for PhD students, post-docs, and junior faculty (maximum 10 participants). 

 

Because we expect considerable interest in this seminar series, seminar faculty will be interviewing potential participants to ensure that the seminar meets their needs and interests.
