The purpose of this article is to provide recommendations for writing a successful R13 conference grant proposal for the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The authors reviewed successful NIH conference grant proposal abstracts. They also reflect on their own experience in writing an NIH conference grant proposal and implementing a successful annual conference on research methods in the area of psychological trauma.
The key to a strong proposal is linkage among all of its sections, from the specific aims to the budget. The specific aims should be justified by the need for the conference and articulated in the background and significance section, and the aims, in turn, should drive the content and format of the conference.
Conferences can be an important way to promote NIH scientific goals, by disseminating new findings, facilitating collaborations, and stimulating new lines of research.
本文旨在为撰写向美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）申请成功的R13会议资助提案提供建议。
作者回顾了成功的NIH会议资助提案摘要。他们还反思了自己撰写NIH会议资助提案以及举办一场关于心理创伤领域研究方法的成功年度会议的经验。
一份有力提案的关键在于其各个部分之间的联系，从具体目标到预算。具体目标应由会议需求来证明其合理性，并在背景和意义部分阐述清楚，而这些目标反过来又应推动会议的内容和形式。
会议可以成为促进NIH科学目标的重要途径，通过传播新发现、促进合作以及激发新的研究方向。
