TRANSCRIPT

NRSAs as dissertation proposals

Supplement by Michael Marsiske

Pros/consPros• Efficient, succinct research

proposal• May qualify for funding,

reducing department training cost

• Experience with NIH grant submissions

Cons• From first submission to

funding can take 18 – 24 mo, so requires planning and milestone timing revision

• Easier for (typically 5-year) NP students than 4-year students

• If funding runs longer than planned matriculation, must extend stay

• Proposal is no longer de-facto first draft of dissertation (more back end writing needed)

Timeline

Issues

• Dissertation proposal before quals?• Can we possibly get these submitted in Dec of

Y02?– Can we speed up the Masters to achieve this?

• Med/Health and Peds willing to stay 5 years pre-internship?

• If NRSA is late funded, students must stay into Y06, and then we have a new funding gap
