Program OutlineActivity: Young Investigator Initiative Grant Mentoring and Career Development Program Objective: To provide young investigators an opportunity to mentor and work with experienced basic and clinical investigators to assist them in securing funding. Program: Participants attend two workshops and are assigned two or more mentors to work with them one-on-one on their research proposals until they are funded. At their first workshop participants will review with faculty the proposed research grant application on which they applied to the program, as well as learn techniques to developing well-structured research proposals and grant writing skills. The timing of their participation in the second workshop will depend on their readiness to have a completed/submitted grant application and summary statement reviewed. Some returning participants seek further mentoring in order to submit a completed grant application. Workshops are held in the Spring and Fall. Mentoring with faculty continues between workshops.
