Additional Information:

Description:
This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested in conducting D&I research. To be eligible, participants must NOT have current R18, R01 or R01-equivalent funding as a principal investigator for D&I research or received such funding in the in the past five years. Note: investigators who have received an R01 or equivalent are eligible, as long as the funding was not specifically for D&I research. Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate experience with, or potential for, working effectively in transdisciplinary teams and who have strong partnerships with—or are embedded within—healthcare delivery, public health or community-based networks. We seek a balance of both junior and senior investigators, with the overall goal of bringing new people into the field of D&I research. While we anticipate most participants will be early to mid-career individuals, we will enroll a limited number of senior researchers who are making the switch to D&I research.
In addition, to be eligible, participants must meet ALL of the following criteria:
  • Hold a doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, MD, DrPH, DO, DVM, DNSc, DrPH, etc.).
  • Have demonstrated experience and expertise in health science (e.g., medicine, behavioral medicine, nursing, medical anthropology, health economics, public health, health policy).
  • Have a feasible D&I research concept to bring to the institute and develop throughout the week. This should be a project the applicant is seriously interested in conducting and/or submitting for funding.
  • Federal employees are not eligible with the exception of individuals whose position allows them to receive grants and function as independent researchers (e.g., VA research investigators).
  • Be willing and able to pay your own travel expenses (round trip airfare, ground transportation, and some meals) and attend the entire training 5-day institute, if accepted.  
Applicants are NOT required to be citizens, permanent residents, or non-citizen nationals of the United States. There is no fee to apply to attend the institute. However, all applicants are responsible for arranging and paying for their travel to attend.
