RFA for the Advance-K Scholar Career Development Program Is Open
Learn what it takes to win an NIH K award and jumpstart your research career through this intensive, one-year training program.
Are you an early career faculty member with a passion for clinical or translational research? Do you dream of building an independent research career and securing an NIH K award or comparable funding? The Advance-K Scholar Career Development Program could be your next big step.
“ There are so many official requirements and unwritten rules in writing a career development application that, as junior faculty, we have to figure out. Being in Advance-K was like a "cheat code" to understanding how to comply with these tacit expectations. ”
Advance-K is more than just a training program; it's a launchpad.
Over the course of 12 months, up to 10 selected Scholars will take part in an intensive, bi-weekly training series focused on:
- Mastering the art of grant writing (NIH K01, K08, K23, or VA/Foundation CDAs)
- Building a powerful mentorship team
- Refining your research project and training plan
- Engaging with a vibrant network of peers, experts, and institutional resources
This highly competitive program is designed to equip emerging investigators from Brown, the University of Rhode Island, or the affiliated hospital systems with the skills, mentorship, and support needed to submit a competitive career development award (CDA) proposal, and win it.
Questions? Please register for the live information session on Tuesday, July 28th, at noon.
