Description

In today's fiercely competitive funding environment, an investigator's long-term success depends on their ability to secure grant support during their scientific training and early years in academic medicine. This program will provide attendees with strategies to ensure a sustainable future career as an independent investigator, including how to develop a diverse, future-proof research portfolio, how to find and apply for the right extramural funding opportunities, and how to craft a resubmission application if your initial proposal is not funded. 

Objectives

  • Describe the need for - and strategies to - develop a diverse and competitive research portfolio
  • Identify applicable extramural research grants at different career stages and navigate the proposal development process
  • Define strategies to craft a successful resubmission if your initial proposal is not funded.
