Each third Wednesday of the month at noon we will meet to discuss one grant, specific aims page, letter of intent, research strategy, an outline of ideas, etc., for any funding mechanism. Trainees, faculty, and staff at all levels are invited to participate. We ask that materials be sent to Paula O’Brien to be circulated to the group one week in advance to give attendees time to read them. We encourage everyone to come prepared to discuss feedback (providing written notations is also welcomed) and meetings will follow a study-section-like model, where submitters will not be asked to present slides but rather reviewers will discuss the submitted written materials. Meetings will be held in CBRB 3289. RSVP required: paula-obrien@uiowa.edu.
