myHub’s NIH [F]ellowship Writing Club will start on Wednesday, June 4, 2025!

myHub will again host an “F-Club”, which will serve as a writing support group for individuals interested in writing applications for F30, F31, F32 and F99 awards. University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry trainees interested in submitting applications for F awards are welcome to attend.

“F-Club” will focus on the development of the Biosketch; Candidate’s Goals, Preparedness, and Potential; Research Strategy (inclusive of the Specific Aims, Rationale and Scientific Foundation, and Approach); and other relevant attachments.

Applicants will have the opportunity to improve their grant writing skills via five in-person sessions.  Each scheduled session will include three components:

a didactic portion, example/sample review and discussion, and dedicated writing time.

The Director of Writing Services and Training Grant Development, Dr. Elaine Smolock, will lead the sessions.

Participants will also be encouraged to submit writing drafts for review in the weeks between the in-person F-club sessions. Constructive feedback and guidance will be provided by Dr. Smolock. Participants will be expected to send a draft of the application several days in advance of each review session.

NOTE:

The club will meet in person every other Wednesday at 2p beginning on 6/4/25 through 7/30/25 in the Northeastern Conference Room (1-9525/35).

All participants will have access to the myHub Archer Career Grant Writing Modules titled “Pathway to Fellowship” before the club begins.

If you would like to participate in myHub’s “F-Club,” please fill out this survey by May 30, 2025.
