Deadline: 31 March 2017
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is currently seeking proposals from eligible entities for its program titled- Child Health Research Career Development Award (CHRCDA).
The CHRCDA Program supports research career development of pediatricians who have recently completed postgraduate clinical training and who are commencing basic research relevant to the field of pediatrics. This funding opportunity is intended to address the need for lab-based research training at the postdoctoral level and provide a transition to independence. Support for junior investigators is designed to enhance their research skills, thereby providing a bridge between formal research training and the receipt of independent research grants. Applicants must propose a career development program that will maximize the use of relevant research and educational resources to foster education, training, mentoring, and professional development of scholars.
