The Georgetown-Howard Universities Center for Clinical & Translational Science (GHUCCTS) is expanding our successful novel KL2 mini-symposium program by engaging translationally-focused early-stage investigators (ESIs) across our hub institutions to organize mini-symposia, tailored to their own research interests with goals of internal and external networking, building new collaborative and mentoring relationships across and beyond our Hub, increasing local recognition of multidisciplinary translational research efforts and highlighting translational science principles across our Hub. We will be funding six (6) proposals this application cycle.
We encourage potential applicants to submit as soon as possible to receive feedback about suitability of this support mechanism for their career development goals.
Eligibility & Requirements:
- Early Stage Investigator An ESI is a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) who has completed their terminal research degree or end of post-graduate clinical training, whichever date is later, within the past 10 years and who has not previously competed successfully as PD/PI for a substantial NIH independent research award.
- Must be a US citizen, Non-Citizen National, or Permanent Resident.
- Must have a full-time faculty or equivalent appointment at a GHUCCTS institution (Georgetown University, Howard University, or MedStar Health) at the time of award.

- Details about their invited keynote speaker
- Format of proposed symposium
- Goals of proposed mini-symposium/what they hope to gain
- Target Audiences
