Data Science and Grant Writing Workshop!

July 15-18 2024 in Moshi, Tanzania

Highlights:

 
We were so lucky to be able to incorporate not only a data science component to this years workshop, but also include our G11 Grant Administration Trainees. Our Post-Doctoral fellows and Admin trainees will work together to build capacity for grant submissions to further the research careers of Tanzanian investigators.
All trainees made presentations and received feedback from our outstanding mentors and workshop coordinators.
For the second year, Dr. Sana Syed and her team led the group through various grant funding opportunities and strategies for optimizing submissions and increasing chances for success.
Dr. Don Brown joined us this year to take our trainees through the basics of Data Science and why its important for all types of projects.
Amber Steen, PI and lead for our G11 Administration Training Grant, took our attendees through the importance of grant planning, budgets, and proper preparation of the various components for submission of funding opportunities.
Groups of attendees were able to participate in break-out sessions and focus more specifically on their areas of interest/expertise.
