This presentation will discuss strategies for supporting holistic student wellness, including opportunities for both mentors and students to engage in helpful behaviors. While higher education comes with unique challenges at times, due to student development and regular life stage changes, additional resources have been allocated at many institutions, and regular work is being done to help support student wellness, particularly student mental health. Participants will walk away with concrete strategies for supporting the wellness of themselves and those around them. Our presenter will provide suggestions on what mentors can do to help students and share some positive behaviors for students to engage in themselves. Register Here

The R01, R21 and R03 are the three most common NIH Research Project Grants (RPGs). The R01 is considered the “gold standard” of NIH grants. The small R03 and exploratory/developmental R21 grants should not be considered as “mini-R01s” but rather serve a specific purpose for investigators. Our presenter has had multiple R01 and R21 grants and extensive experience reviewing these types of grant applications and will provide: A basic overview of the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities, including the difference between Parent Announcements (investigator-initiated) and Program Announcements/Request for Applications (PAs/RFAs). Important differences between the R01, R21 and R03 funding opportunities. Whether the R01, R21 or R03 is the right funding opportunity for your project. Register Here
