Junior Faculty Development

Are you interested in getting involved in research? One of our primary goals at the CRI is to serve as a gateway for junior faculty, to provide guidance and to leverage resources into results, regardless of your experience with research. We have listed a few resources below, but you are invited to contact us by email to discuss your needs in detail. We’d love to hear from you and discuss your ideas!

Individual Development Plan

We offer an Individual Development Plan to all fellows and junior faculty interested in research. We are available to discuss IDPs as needed. To access our IDP, please click here.

Pediatric Scholars Program

The Pediatric Scholars Program supports junior faculty clinical scientists by providing an Individual Development Plan (IDP) and process mentorship. We offer individual meetings with our Administrative Directors to review your IDP and identify items to discuss with your research mentor. Finally, we come together as a group as needed to review specific aims, presentations, and provide feedback as needed.
