We also request applications for the Jr Faculty Research Career Development Forum, which is a monthly interactive, 90-minute session that supports the research careers of junior faculty at the K or career development level (typically those prior to R01). Sessions are organized and led by the participants, facilitated by senior faculty with expertise in career development and federal grant funding, and supported by qualitative and quantitative methods mentors. Admission is by application only, open to any Tufts CTSI affiliate, and applications are due August 13, 2021. The group currently meets virtually via Zoom. Details can be found on the Jr Faculty Forum site.
