Get a GRIP: An AAI program designed to help new investigators prepare their NIH grant proposals AAI is pleased to offer a program to match new PI s with established PI s who have significant, successful grant writing careers. The Grant Review for Immunologists Program (GRIP) invites new PI s to submit an outline or NIH-style abstract to the GRIP coordinator who, with the assistance of a small volunteer subcommittee, will attempt to match the topic of the proposal with the research experience of an established PI. Matches will be made as quickly as possible to allow new PI s to meet upcoming NIH grant deadlines. Participation is strictly voluntary and is not intended to supplant internal mentoring programs. GRIP is now accepting both new PI and established PI participants. Please send your CV and a brief description of either your potential research project (new PI s) or grant reviewing experience (established PI s) to infoaai@aai.org (please write GRIP in the subject line).
