K Award Workshops

The Providence/Boston CFAR offers proposal development curriculum for post-doctoral fellows and early-stage investigators planning to submit a K award proposal on HIV/AIDS to NIH for funding.

The K Award Mentoring Program involves a proposal development curriculum characterized by milestone driven progress and formal review by an advisory board of CFAR Senior Faculty. Participants must apply to the program with an identified primary mentor based on their career goals and objectives.

The K award Mentoring program will begin four to six months prior to the HIV/AIDS NIH deadline for a given cycle. Advisors will be experienced CFAR faculty with a track record of mentoring and successful funding.  Participants present a one-page specific aims page at the first meeting with their mentor and advisory board members and further develop strategies for improvement. Prior to the NIH HIV/AIDS deadline participants will submit their full proposal for review and again meet with the advisory panel for additional feedback.

If you are interested in enrolling in the K award Mentoring Program, please register online.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact us at CFAR@lifespan.org.
