Up to 10 selected Scholars participate in bi-weekly sessions focused on mastering grant writing for major career development awards (such as NIH K01, K08, K23, or VA/Foundation CDAs), building effective mentorship teams, refining research projects and training plans, and engaging with a strong peer and institutional network. The program is designed to position Scholars for successful submission of career development award proposals and future research leadership roles.
