Description:
This session on Federal Funding Opportunities, as part of the Career Development Series, will provide participants with comprehensive and current information on career prospects and resources available through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Intramural and Extramural Programs, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the National Science Foundation (NSF).  With so many resources available, there can be much confusion about which roads will lead to professional advancement.  The goal of this program is to guide attendees through the labyrinth of choices available to them and enable them to gain access to the appropriate support and resources for their needs.

Audience:
Physicians in postdoctoral training, junior faculty, and fellows (research and clinical)

Objectives:

• Obtain current information on opportunities and resources available through the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the National Science Foundation
• Discuss grants, awards, research supplements, and loan repayment programs
• Identify intramural training programs: postdoctoral, research fellowship, and intramural tracks
• Recognize which federal funding opportunity best matches the attendee's particular professional goal

CME Credit/Accreditation:
