Research Career & Writing Group "K-Club"

The UMCCTS Research Career & Writing Group (K-Club) was established in 2007. Most individuals who participate and apply for a research career award have been very successful in getting funded (>80% success). K-Club meets every other week to provide information and feedback on academic career development and on preparing a Research Career Award application (NIH K Awards, VA Research Career Awards, CTSA K grants, etc.).

Participants will receive:
- Feedback on CV development
- Help on preparing NIH biosketches
- Support on creating yearly career development plans
- Individualized help on developing career goals and a program of research
- Support with writing the career development grant application
- Guidance on selecting and working with primary and secondary mentors (if needed)
Of note, Mock Board Review sessions and review of prior grant applications / NIH review committee feedback are available. Outstanding senior mentors, including Drs. Nancy Byatt, Mihaela Stefan, and Ekaterina Pivovarova attend the meetings and provide complementary information and perspectives.

** Meetings are held every other week on Wednesday from 4-5PM.

Working With Policymakers

Thursday, March 24, 2022

11 AM - 1 PM

Presenters:

Lisa M. Troy, PhD

Laurel Smith-Doerr, PhD

from the

UMass Amherst Public Engagement Project

What do policymakers most want to know, and what are the best ways to approach and communicate with them? Policymakers include both elected officials who make laws and employees in public sector organizations who implement them. This workshop will explain all the reasons why policymakers want input from academic researchers and help you envision the roles you wish to play in relation to policy and advocacy. The workshop will also highlight differences in the culture and goals of policymakers and academics, so that you can learn the best ways to get your points across in the policy world.
