During the AMA-MSS Interim Meeting last November, AMA and APSA teamed up for a seminar in grant writing entitled Grants 101.  APSA members Chirag Patel (University of Texas-Houston; APSA Member at Large (MD/PhD, DO/PhD)) and Rick Price (Ohio State; Co-Chair of the AMA-MSS Committee on Scientific Issues) coordinated the seminar at the Orlando Meeting. This seminar follows in a tradition of collaboration between APSA and the AMA-MSS CSI that was begun two years earlier.  Rick and Chirag presented to an audience of approximately 40 eager AMA medical student members, regarding the concept of research and how to write a grant.  For  the seminar, Chirag and Rick each gave a quick presentation for the first half and then were joined by Aaron Kithcart (Ohio State; Medical student Councilor, AMA Council on Scientific Affairs and Public Health (CSAPH)) and Dr. Westley Reeves (University of Florida; ASCI member) to round out a panel of grant experts to field questions from the audience.
