I understand that the total estimated time commitment for serving as an Internal Subject Matter Expert is between 16-20 hours (excluding optional components), and I am prepared to make this commitment. 
I will advise my mentee of the appropriateness of the preliminary data and the specific aims; I will review drafts of sections of the R01 proposal as they are being developed; I will guide the mentee on a timeline to complete the proposal.
I will advise the mentee on preparing a Chalk Talk in his or her department, suggest participants to attend, attend myself, and provide a written summary (and tentative NIH Impact score,
if possible).
I will help the mentee determine an appropriate NIH study section and provide advice on contacting a program officer.
I will help the mentee identify and recruit an External Subject Matter Expert who can provide a critical NIH style review of a near-final draft of the proposal, and who has pertinent NIH study section experience.
