- Provide training in grant writing, making presentations, and other skills required to develop competitive career development awards
- Ensure a supply of well-qualified science, clinical, and translational investigators in the health care research pipeline
Who should apply?
Fellows, postdoctoral trainees, and junior faculty in the University of Pittsburgh's Schools of the Health Sciences who are from underrepresented populations (African-American, Hispanic, Native/American Indian or individuals with disabilities) should consider applying to this program if they meet all of the following criteria:
