Promising junior investigators interested in pursuing a career in public health services and systems research (PHSSR) are encouraged to apply for a new round of funding aimed at increasing the number of qualified investigators in PHSSR. The National Coordinating Center for PHSSR’s sixth round of Junior Investigator Awards provides a mentored research experience that gives awardees an opportunity to work closely with prominent PHSSR experts as they launch their careers. These $10,000 fixed-price awards are available for doctoral candidates or junior faculty who are within three years of their initial faculty appointment. Up to 10 one-year awards are available in this round of funding. Up to five of these awards will be mentored by researchers from member networks of the Public Health Practice-Based Research Networks (PBRN) program.
Proposals are due on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012, with award notification in mid-January 2013. The awards are scheduled to begin in February/March 2013.
