| Description: | The FY18 TBDRP Career Development Award (CDA) supports independent, early-career investigators to conduct impactful research with the mentorship of an experienced tick-borne diseases researcher (i.e., the Mentor) as an opportunity to obtain the funding, guidance, and experience necessary for productive, independent careers at the forefront of tick-borne diseases research. This award supports impactful research projects with an emphasis on discovery. Under this award mechanism, the early-career investigator is considered the Principal Investigator (PI), and the application should focus on the PI’s research and career development. It should be clear that the proposed research is intellectually designed by the PI and not a product of the Mentor. Preliminary data are not required. However, logical reasoning and a sound scientific rationale for the proposed research must be demonstrated. |
