At any given time, there are approximately 50 junior faculty in the Einstein-Montefiore system who are receiving career development awards in clinical and translational research. While each awardee has her/his own career development and mentoring plan, there are some overarching, near universal issues faced by all such Scholars. For instance:
- How can I find the support services I need?
- What should I do to get promoted?
- What “tricks of the trade” will help me be successful when applying for grants?
The TRANSCEND “networking” group was created to help these Scholars find solutions to these questions. This group includes all Einstein faculty engaged in clinical/translational research who have federal, foundation, or institutional career development awards. The group meets monthly for presentations and discussions designed to support their transition to independent research careers. This program complements individual and departmental career development support with a broad support network.
