Grant Proposal Writing & Professional Development
Postdoctoral Fellows and Junior Faculty – Apply to be a Trainee
Experienced Faculty Investigators – Apply to be a Coach-in-Training
The National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) invites applications from two audiences for Grant Proposal Writing and Professional Development opportunities:
1. Postdoctoral Fellows & Junior Faculty
- Currently working on a grant proposal
- Planning to work on a grant proposal in the next year
- Interested in serving as a grant writing and professional development coach for individuals and groups
- Desiring to learn and apply the proposal writing and coaching strategies used in the NRMN models
- Committed to the career advancement of investigators from underrepresented populations
The National Institutes of Health-funded NRMN was created to address the unmet need for greater diversity in the biomedical and biobehavioral research workforce.
Starting in June 2015, the NRMN is offering a series of four intensive coaching programs to support investigators from underrepresented populations who are at a later training stage, specifically postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty. These programs are designed to enhance participants’ career development, preparing them to meet each program’s ultimate goal: the submission of strong research and research career development proposals for funding in the biomedical or biobehavioral sciences. The programs features:
- Paid travel expenses for in-person meetings
- Token stipends for coaches that complete the training
- Networking with colleagues from across NRMN’s network
