The authors describe a junior faculty scholars program in a large academic department of psychiatry, designed to reduce attrition during the high-risk period of transition from post-doctoral fellowship to receipt of the first extramural research award.
Scholars receive 25% salary support for two years to enable their participation in a research survival skills practicum, mentored collection of pilot data, preparation of manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication, and submission of K23 and K01 proposals.
Of 22 junior faculty scholars appointed during the period of 1999-2004, 17 have submitted K award proposals. All were funded on either the first or second submission
A program for junior faculty scholars can provide support for successfully navigating the critical and often difficult transition from post-doctoral fellowship to junior faculty. The program is expanding its efforts to assist K awardees in moving successfully along the developmental continuum (e.g., successful submission of R01, development of mentoring skills).
作者描述了一个在大型精神病学学术部门开展的初级教员学者项目，该项目旨在减少从博士后奖学金过渡到获得首个校外研究奖励这一高风险时期的人员流失。
学者们在两年内获得25%的薪资支持，以便他们能够参加研究生存技能实践课程、在导师指导下收集试点数据、准备同行评审出版物的稿件以及提交K23和K01提案。
在1999年至2004年期间任命的22名初级教员学者中，有17人提交了K类奖项提案。所有提案均在首次或第二次提交时获得资助。
初级教员学者项目可为成功度过从博士后奖学金到初级教员这一关键且通常困难的过渡阶段提供支持。该项目正在加大力度，帮助获得K类奖项的人员在发展连续体上顺利前进（例如，成功提交R01提案、培养指导技能）。
