This program will be offered every 2 years.
Budgets awarded will not exceed $200,000 per year, to a maximum of $800,000 per grant.

OTHER:

Bone and Joint Decade Canada and the United States Bone and Joint Initiative – Young Investigators Initiative Grant Mentoring Program

Deadline: January 15, 2014

The Bone and Joint Decade Canada and the United States Bone and Joint Initiative (USBJI) are dedicated to raising public awareness and to increasing research of musculoskeletal diseases.  It is apparent that research in the musculoskeletal diseases performed by young investigators is not keeping pace with the increasing burden of these diseases. In response, we have developed a grant mentoring program to provide early-career investigators an opportunity to work with experienced researchers in our field to assist them in securing funding and other survival skills required for pursuing an academic career.

This grant mentoring program is open to promising junior faculty, senior fellows or post-doctoral researchers nominated by their department or division chairs. It is also open to senior fellows or residents that are doing research and have a faculty appointment in place or confirmed. Basic and clinical investigators, without or with training awards (including K awards) are invited to apply. Investigators selected to take part in the program attend two workshops, 12-18 months apart, and work with faculty between workshops to develop their grant applications.  The next workshop is scheduled to take place May 16-18, 2014 in Rosemont, IL (Chicago).  The unique aspect of this program is the opportunity for attendees to maintain a relationship with a mentor until their application is funded.

For application instructions, please visit their website.
