Succeeding with Your K Award
Overview
Succeeding with Your K Award is an interactive and supportive peer-mentoring seminar series (offered via Zoom until further notice) that allows early-career faculty and post-doctoral fellows to look at their own work and that of others in a critical but supportive manner.
The series covers a variety of topics, including elevator pitches, the K-to-R transition, and diversifying your funding portfolio.
Participants
Succeeding with Your K Award is designed for early-career faculty members or post-doctoral fellows supported on a National Institutes of Health K award. NUCATS compiles a participant list on an annual basis based on NIH funding at the beginning of each academic year.
