Murray (NIAAA), Sidney Stahl (NIA), Barbara Guest (NCI),
Denise Pintello (NIDA), and Denise Juliano-Bult (NIMH)
Part
I: Social Work Research Career Opportunities at NIH
and CDC. Representatives from major federal funding
sources willprovide updates on research funding opportunities,
addressing those particularly attuned to social work
research priorities.
Part II: Enhancing Peer Review: New Scoring Procedures
for Research Applications. This session includes a briefing
on changes in grant formats, scoring, and review process
(including the 9 point rating scale), as well as implications
of those changes.

Preparing for Transdisciplinary
Collaborations: Linking Society to Cells to Reduce Disparities
and Improve Health Outcomes
Kay Wanke (OBSSR), Sarah Gehlert (Washington University),
and Kate Reed (National Coalition for Health Professional
Education in
Genetics)
Research
linking environmental, behavioral, and biological/genetic
factors relative to physical and mental health outcomes
is a critical priority. Social workers are important
contributors to this enterprise. This session 1) illustrates
current and emerging research needs and funding opportunities
as well as 2) practical steps to prepare or retool for
effective collaborative teams that join social work
researchers with biological and genetic scientists.

Community Research Capacity: A
Foundation to Reduce Health Disparities
Suzanne Heurtin-Roberts (OMH), Stephane Philogene (OBSSR),
David Takeuchi (University of Washington)
This
session discusses communities' needs for relevant, current
and usable data to improve community health and well-being.
The importance of sustainable, equitable, collaborative
partnerships between community and academic entities
to build community research capacity is discussed as
are examples of NIH initiatives to support such activity.
The link between community research capacity and health
disparities reduction will be discussed as will social
work research and the NIH's complementary and dialectic
roles in developing a community research agenda in health
disparities reduction.

am - 12:00 pm
Understanding and Responding to
the HIH Review Process
Ron Thompson & Dan Herman (Columbia University)
To
successfully obtain federal funds, it is vital to understand
the review process and appropriately respond to reviewer
suggestions. This session will identify strategies for
responding to reviewer critiques and address recent
changes in the NIH submission and review process. This
session goes beyond description of the changes to provide
targeted consultation in understanding and strategically
responding to the new criteria, rating system, and summary
statement format.
