The Program for Early Research Career Development will provide a roadmap and targeted guidance for senior post-doctoral fellows and early career faculty (both MD and PhD) committed to launching an independent research career.
This program will help attendees assemble a professional portfolio requisite for attaining career development awards
(such as the NIH K grant), pilot awards, and/or other funding mechanisms consistent with the success of early-stage investigators.
Areas of Focus:
Developing a mentoring team.
Conceptualizing and drafting a specific aims page.
Preparation/evaluation of scientific manuscripts.
Early-stage faculty and accomplished post-doctoral fellows (with 2 or more years of research training), especially those in the initial stages of forming a career development plan for an eventual K award application (or equivalent).
Able to attend every session; agree to participate actively and to complete writing assignments between classes
Priority will be given to those who are new faculty hires with protected time and post-doctoral fellows with a high likelihood of staying at BU
The Funding Acknowledgementguides recipients of BU CTSI services, resources, or funding for projects or research through the grant citation process. All recipients are required to cite our grant number in associated presentations and journal publications.
