Navigating the New Normal: Strategies for Success in a Shifting NIH Landscape

Description

As many have experienced firsthand, and heard echoed across our research community, there is a growing concern over the unpredictability of funding decisions (i.e., grants being withdrawn, not funded, funding abruptly terminated, budget issues, etc.), evolving review criteria, and the psychological toll this current landscape has taken on investigators. This focused, solution-oriented webinar discusses demystifying recent shifts in NIH/NSF priorities and processes, practical strategies for preparing resilient grant applications amid uncertainty, and exploring how US centric changes affect the global research landscape. We aim to foster candid discussion about setbacks and perseverance and encourage members of all career stages, especially early and mid-career researchers, to attend and join the conversation.
