Learn How To Apply For Funding With The National Institutes Of Health

On August 9, Nicole Maestas, PhD, Director of the Center for Disability Research and a Senior Economist at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, Ca, presented a webinar that provided tips on how to compete for some of the $31.2 billion in medical research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
