Center for Nursing Research
Think Tank
The Think Tank within the Center for Nursing Research is designed to provide a body of experts who can provide advice or ideas about your research idea. If you have a research idea and need assistance with formulating your idea, the research design or general approach, then you should request a Think Tank. This allows for open discussion about your research idea. Plan on the Think Tank lasting about one hour. You should include senior faculty from within the school and statistician(s) and you may include faculty from other schools.
Mock Review
The Mock Review within the Center for Nursing Research is designed to simulate the NIH study section process. This allows for written and verbal feedback to the investigator that reflects how their grant may be evaluated by the NIH or other similar funding source. Plan on the Mock Review lasting about one hour. You should not include those on your grant in the Mock Review, but they can attend. Try to include faculty from within the school and an expert reviewer (should have a funded NIH grant or other similar funding in the recent past or current) outside of the school. All Assistant Professors who are applying for a NIH grant or similar funding source should have a Mock Review. All other ranks are encouraged to go through this process.
Grant Postmortem Review
The Grant Postmortem Review within the Center for Nursing Research is designed to review the feedback provided by the NIH or other funding agencies and suggest changes for the next submission. This allows for verbal feedback to the investigator that reflects how their grant may be reconstructed for the next submission. Plan on the Postmortem lasting about one hour. You should not include those on your grant in the Postmortem, but they can attend. Try to include faculty from within the school and an expert reviewer (should have a funded NIH grant or similar funding in the recent past or current) outside of the school. All Assistant Professors who are re-applying for a NIH grant or similar funding source should have a Postmortem Review. All other ranks are encouraged to go through this process.
