You may have heard that NIH can provide limited, interim research support for applications with creative and innovative approaches that fell just outside the payline. These “bridge awards” are helpful for researchers to gather additional data to revise their current application. But, how do we decide on which applications to support this way?
So, you wanna be an NIH investigator? Our first series is targeted at individuals at various career stages–new faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate and undergraduate students–who are planning careers in biomedical research.
In our first three episodes, we discuss the New and Early Stage Investigator policies, grant writing for new investigators, and grant programs new faculty members can use to develop their research program.
Listen to the latest installment of our All About Grants podcast series “Postdocs Thinking About Independence” and hear Dr. Milton Hernandez describe funding options for junior and senior postdocs, talk about the importance of having mentors, and more. We hope you are enjoying our new All About Grants podcasts. Contact us at [email protected] and tell us what you think.
Listen to Dr. Henry Khachaturian, Director of Policy and Liaison Activities, Division of Loan Repayment, discuss “Using Career Development Awards to Achieve Independence” and learn more about mentored career development awards, including what they are, how to select the right one, and what to address in your application.
Listen to Dr. Sharon Milgram, director of the NIH’s Office of Intramural Training and Education, discuss “Training and Career Opportunities in NIH’s Intramural Research Programs.” She describes the benefits of doing a postdoctoral fellowship at the NIH and also explains how the tenure-track hiring process works.
Are you coming to the end of your research training and thinking about next steps, wondering what it means to be an “early stage investigator (ESI)“? Maybe you already know you are an ESI, but want to know what it means for your application.
