Webinar: What is a “K” Career Development Award and How To Get One Funded
Presenter: Sherry Pagoto, PhD, Department of Allied Health Sciences
When: Wednesday, January 27, 12PM Eastern
Details: NIH “K” career development awards support postdoctoral and early career research scientists who are committed to developing an independent program of research and require advanced research training and additional experience to achieve this goal. Training awards are increasingly important to prepare investigators for R01 funding, indeed 37% of R01 holders have had a K award, a number that has increased by 3 fold in the last decade. This webinar will discuss the basics of K awards, funding rates, how to decide if a K is right for you, how to prepare to apply, common mistakes that negatively impact funding potential, and tips and tricks to prepare a successful application. Dr. Sherry Pagoto, Professor of Allied Health Sciences at the University of Connecticut, having mentored dozens of junior investigators in obtaining K awards, will lead this webinar and share her experience helping her mentees prepare successful K award proposals.
