Suggested Timeline for NIH Training Grant Preparations Jamie to begin demo
Suggested Timeline for NIH Training Grant Preparation - 1 Standard T32 deadlines: Jan 25, May 25, Sept 25 UMich recommends applying 1.5-2 yr before end of current funding cycle. One year ahead - Review NIH Instructions for preparing Institutional Training Grants and Data Tables Contact alumni if you haven’t maintained regular contact (15 yr) – get cv: need current position, funding, publications Remind faculty and trainees about upcoming renewal – participation is important One year – six months ahead (start early - can update if necessary before submission) Update Participating Faculty list in M-FACTIR and xTRACT. (New application - initiate PAF first). Contact Participating Departments for Program-specific data on trainees and applicants. Send faculty their individual M-FACTIR profiles for updates, including trainee mentoring. Six months ahead Enter/update Program-specific data in M-FACTIR. Fill in gaps in Program-specific data. Review and confirm institutional data in M-FACTIR. Use Pub-Med to compile trainee publications (via xTRACT). Confirm with trainees and mentors.
Suggested Timeline for NIH Training Grant Preparation - 2 Three – six months ahead PI / TG Directors draft text for Research Training Plan, Diversity, RCR, Rigor, Progress Report. Collect faculty biosketches – update in current biosketch format Personal statement can include information on mentoring experience and mentoring activities Collect trainee research progress statements, publications, awards for Progress Report. Transfer data into xTRACT from M-FACTIR reports. Review draft tables as xTRACT pdfs. Fill in gaps in Program-specific data. Prepare Budget and Budget Justification Collect letters of support, other supporting documents One-three months ahead Complete data tables via M-FACTIR and xTRACT adjust table formats as needed - final xTRACT PDFs are attached to application submit Administrative shell, including table drafts and letters of support, to Administration Review and finalize text – be sure text is consistent with tables
