Dear Faculty,

You are invited to attend a viewing of the live webinar, "NIH Career Development Awards: Which Mechanism is Right for You?" on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 2 p.m., in 124 Petit Science Center.
During this URSA-sponsored viewing, you will learn how NIH Career Development Awards provide protected time for research and career development for investigators in the biomedical, behavioral, or clinical sciences. Deciding on the correct mechanism can be influenced by many factors. This webinar will detail the major types of awards for basic and clinical researchers, offer techniques for deciding if a particular mechanism is right for you, and shine some light on your funding chances in comparison to an R01.

If you wonder if this is a good mechanism then this webinar is meant for you. If you have early career investigators in your department, this webinar would be a great resource for them as well. Take a look at what you will learn:
