National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reposted this
NIH is taking steps to re-envision the postdoctoral training experience, but the feedback of the biomedical research community is a crucial part of this process. Among the actions under consideration are: ➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers. ➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars. ➡️Enhancing training and professional development for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors. Share your feedback by October 23, 2024: https://go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD
