Description
The Transition to Independence Grant (TIG) is designed to assist junior faculty anesthesiologist researchers as they move from mentored, training-focused research support to independent, non-mentored research funding. The grant provides resources and protected time to help revise and resubmit applications for major independent research awards (such as NIH R01, R21, VA Merit, AHRQ, or equivalent), supporting research in basic science, clinical, translational, or health services anesthesia. The TIG aims to bridge the gap between mentored training and independent research, increasing the likelihood of securing major extramural funding.
