LSOM Grant Development Program

The LSOM Office for Research Grant Development Program is now in session. The program runs from August – November 2023.

The LSOM Grant Development Program enhances the grantsmanship skills of early and mid-career clinical and tenure-track basic science faculty. It features a hybrid design to encourage involvement with clinical and basic science colleagues. Participants will attend virtual lectures, submit grant subsection (i.e. specific aims, significance, etc) drafts for personalized feedback, and complete the program with a proposal suitable for submission to an extramural funding agency. For more information email SOMResearch@uthscsa.edu.
