Previous Events
TraineeHub Workshop: Understanding and Applying for NIH K-Grants
Moderator: Maya Sabatello, LLB, PhD
Panelists: Stephanie Kraft, JD, Hadley Stephens Smith, PhD, MPSA, David Kaufman, PhD
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Career Development Awards, commonly known as K awards, provide funding to support research training and mentorship to prepare postdoctoral and early-career scholars for independent research careers. These awards can offer funding and opportunities to support the independent career development of emerging ELSI scholars. During this event, we provided an introduction to two types of NIH grants for research training and career development, covered some basics of the grant application process, and explored the purpose of the K99/R00 and K01 awards. A panel of K award recipients shared their firsthand experiences navigating the grant application process, offered practical advice for prospective applicants, and reflected on the impact these awards have had on their research and careers.
Navigating Authorship: Who’s on First? - February 16, 2024
Panelists: Steve Joffe, MD, MPH, Charmaine Royal, PhD and Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, PhD.
Moderator: Maya Sabatello, LLB, PhD.
Publishing in a top-notch scientific journal is a great reason for celebration. But getting there takes time, effort, and the ability to navigate power dynamics while maintaining research integrity. Our expert panel discussed the importance of authorship for building collaborations, career development and tenure; authorship criteria; responsibilities arising from authorship; multidisciplinary challenges, conflicts and communication, and much more. Whether you are an early trainee or a senior faculty member, there is much to learn about successfully navigating authorship.
