What to Expect When Writing an NRSA: Advice from Personal Experience

Writing a National Research Service Award (NRSA) application can be daunting. Based on personal experience, I offer crucial advice to streamline the process and enhance your chances of success. Avoid procrastination; allow ample time for gathering materials and filling out supplementary information. Carefully read the instructions and communicate with your references early. Engage with peers who have successfully applied for NRSAs to gather insights. Be prepared for application challenges, including technical details and formatting requirements. Start early, stay organized, and seek guidance to navigate the process confidently.
