K-Club

When: First Tuesday of each month. Time: Noon Where: Zoom 

Please email Shaylee Scott for the Zoom link: shaylee.scott@hsc.utah.edu 

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) sponsors K-Club, a monthly lunchtime meeting or early-career clinical and translational researchers. Each meeting features a speaker who is preparing a grant application, which may be a career development award such as NIH individual K award proposal, VA Career Development award, or an independent research project proposal such as a first R01.

The speaker presents his or her Specific Aims page to a group of peers and senior investigators and receives feedback about the science, career development plan, and writing. This is a safe environment for those early in their research careers to benefit from the expertise of senior investigators who want them to be successful. It also provides a venue for peer investigators to learn from each other. Senior faculty from pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and psychiatry are regular participants.

If you would like to present at K-Club, please email shaylee.scott@hsc.utah.edu with your name, project title, and when your proposal is due
