The Center for Dissemination and Implementation at the Institute for Public Health requests submissions for its ninth Annual Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) Proposal Development Bootcamp. The deadline to submit a concept paper is Sept. 13 at noon.
The D&I Proposal Development Bootcamp is an informative and fun daylong intensive during which researchers meet with D&I experts for consultations to help advance grant proposals from idea to proposal draft. This event is open to WashU researchers and/or research teams with a primary investigator from Washington University in St. Louis. Each primary investigator may bring along up to three team members.
I really appreciated having multiple perspectives from consultants who all took the time read my proposal and give thoughtful feedback. The whole thing was an invaluable experience!
