K Awards: A Path to Success is a combined web-based course (5hrs) and livestream workshop (6hrs) that will familiarize participants with the fundamentals of successful K award applications.
This workshop targets researchers who have submitted or will be submitting a K award application or are thinking about submitting a K award application within six months to one year from the workshop date. There are a few requirements to attend this training:
– Participants must complete the web-based course (consisting of online videos and activities) prior to the livestream training session. Participants will be given access to this module about three weeks before the live training, and will take about 4-5 hours to complete.
– While this workshop targets trainees, it is not suitable for pre-doctoral students. All participants must have completed a PhD, MD, and/or DVM.
– Participants will be asked to send a draft Specific Aims page to instructors to receive initial feedback ahead of the workshop, and have their draft aims (whether their real or ‘disguised’ research) seen* by others in attendance.
*Hands-on activities will use participant aims pages, and we therefore request that all participants respect the confidentiality of other attendees. Any participant who prefers not to share their research ideas may create a mock aims page to use during the training.
Capacity is limited. Paid registration is required to attend.
