Navigating the Uncertainty and Opportunity of Training and Career Development Awards
Date: October 2, 2024
Time: 12 pm ET
Supporting the next generation of behavioral scientists in establishing high-quality programs of research is critical to growing, sustaining, and maintaining the relevance of behavioral medicine for decades to come. However, as federal funding lines continue to become more competitive, trainees and early-career faculty may feel unsure about the benefits of applying for F- and K-series grants and how to manage grant writing requirements and expectations in the context of competing demands. Additionally, learning how to persist with and adapt research ideas after a grant is not funded is an important skill. This webinar will organize a panel of four diverse speakers with experience applying for and mentoring those applying for training and career development grants to discuss these important topics. Speaker representation will include individuals from the United States and Canada, R1 and R2 institutions, F- and K- awardees and mentors, applicants with experience ‘recovering’ from rejection, and individuals at a variety of life stages during grant writing. The panel will be asked to speak on several prepared topics, including “how do you know if a training or career development grant is ‘right’ for you?,” “how do you form a solid mentorship team?,” and “how can you fit grant writing into a busy academic schedule?” The majority of the webinar will be focused on answering attendees’ questions. A moderator from SBM's Student Special Interest Group will solicit questions from the audience for the panel. This webinar is designed for students, trainees, and early-career behavioral scientists.
Speakers:
Karly Murphy, PhD, is a clinical health psychologist with expertise in psycho-oncology. She is particularly interested in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivorship. As such, her program of research focuses on the development, evaluation, and implementation of interventions that improve psychosocial wellbeing and health outcomes among AYA cancer survivors. She is currently PI of an NCI-funded K99/R00 Career Development Award. She completed the K99 phase of the project at an R1 institution and is now completing the R00 phase at an R2 institution.
Allison E. Gaffey, PhD, is a clinical psychologist within the Department of Internal Medicine, Section of Cardiovascular Medicine, and a clinician investigator in cardiovascular medicine and women's health at the VA Connecticut Healthcare System. Her research concerns the contributions of nontraditional factors - stress, sleep, trauma, and social determinants of health - to incident hypertension, cardiovascular disease and prognosis, comorbid psychiatric conditions, the pathophysiology underlying this risk, and determining associations that are unique to women. Dr. Gaffey just received a K23 from NHLBI examining opportunities to intervene on high blood pressure among young women, and potential differences from men.
Kathrin Milbury, PhD, is a social psychologist and expert in patient-family caregiver behavioral interventions in the cancer setting. She was supported by an ACS postdoctoral fellowship and then an NCCIH K01 award which informed 3 funded R01 applications. She currently serves as a mentor on postdoc and career development projects.
Christine St. Laurent, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and teaches in the physical activity and health and movement neuroscience focus areas. Her research focuses on the interactions of movement behaviors and sleep on physical, social-emotional, and cognitive health during the developmental years. During her postdoctoral training she was supported by an NICHD-funded F32 and received an NIH Loan Repayment Program award (NHLBI) and renewal award (NICHD).
Moderator:
