Less than a year old, the International Research Career Transition
Award is a very novel program geared towards postdoctoral fellows from
other (i.e. non-US) countries. To date, six postdoctoral fellows have
been accepted into the program; by the end of the year, about 20
participants are anticipated. "The overall goal is to provide for the
professional growth and career development of postdoctoral fellows in
their transition to research independence as they move to universities
and research institutes to set up their own laboratories," says Louis
Simchowitz, the program director for this NIH-wide initiative, who
regards these objectives as an integral part of the training mission of
the NIH.
