Early Career Investigator Program
The Early Career Investigator Program supports early career faculty with funding, mentorship and training.
This program provides $5,000 in funding for one year for professional development opportunities chosen by the awardee, as well as admission to a longitudinal proposal development training valued at $5,000. The ECIP helps early faculty develop an R or K award or equivalent research career development application.
The program also helps network participants with finding appropriate mentors, identifying training needs, and providing a foundation to construct a feasibility research project by providing professional development opportunities.
