  8. Early Career and Transitional Investigators Mentoring DayOctober 10, 2006 Mentoring Day Goals • to provide a team mentoring, supportive and collegial atmosphere where early career and transitional SBS investigators can meet and discuss common challenges they confront in establishing interdisciplinary HIV research careers • to assist in addressing this gap by identifying promising early career and transitional investigators from CFARs around the country, providing a daylong orientation and facilitating early career and transitional investigator linkages with senior CFAR scientists • to expose early career and transitional investigators to a variety of seminars specifically tailored to their needs: these seminars include: crafting a successful NIH grant; mechanisms for support for early career and transitional investigators; HIV research priorities; and a brief review of HIV prevention research among (a) adolescents, (b) substance users, (c) mental health aspects of HIV, (d) women, and (e) international HIV prevention research • to provide the opportunity to meet with senior-level researchers, and prosper from their experiences; both successes and failures Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network CFAR

  10. Early Career and Transitional Investigators Mentoring DayOctober 10, 2006

  11. What Participants Liked Most About Mentoring Day • The perspective from what really happens at a review session and how to write for the reader. I have been to many grant writing seminars and this was the most helpful for understanding our role in writing for the entire process. • Individualized attention • Tips on grant writing; multiple voices and perspectives; clarity • Opportunity to network and connect with other early investigators. The video on the grant evaluation process was useful Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network CFAR

  12. Mentoring Day Comments • I wanted to give you a heart felt thanks for organizing and carrying out the mentoring day last week.  I got a lot out of it, from the presentation on writing NIH grants, to our break out discussion, to meeting so many people.  I imagine that it took a lot of effort to make the day happen, and I wanted to let you know that it was a very successful experience for me.  I even came up with a new K award idea! Again, many thanks, Rae Jean Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network CFAR

  13. Mentoring Day Comments • I found the meeting stimulating and was glad to have met so many folks with whom I share interests/goals. I know that it is extremely tough to carve out a 2-day period to accomplish a great deal of work, but felt that our working group was able to get a good start and make some connections with one another. You all did a beautiful job of pulling things together. Thank you again, Cynthia Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network CFAR

  28. What participants liked most about the Scientific Session • Cost effectiveness is a new topic for behavioral science meeting • Linking this to the need for research in less than ideal conditions • The development of issues about disparities that went beyond blaming the person or the society. • Stimulated new ways of organizing how to think about inputs into disparity; excellent, stimulating session

  29. What Participants Liked Most about the Scientific Session • Stimulating thought, discussion, protocol/trial development • Brought out the importance and current lack of effectiveness trials • Attention to structural factors at the same time the speaker attended to individual factors. Very complex understanding, which is necessary • Excellent session. Very thoughtful presentation implemented by new data linking HIV genetic diversity and demographic/ epidemiologic-based statistics Social and Behavioral Sciences Research Network CFAR

  30. What Participants Liked Most about the Scientific Session • Thoughtful review of the issues and provided some new insights on the topic • Stimulated a lot of thinking • Clear, up to date, included critical assessments of the state of the field • Forcing me to rethink ideas that I thought I had already resolved in my mind.
