Guidance for Trainees (CGT); March 12, 2021
Agency
Burroughs
Wellcome Fund
Description
The
Burroughs Wellcome Fund is accepting applications
for the Career Guidance for Trainees (CGT) program. The program provides grants
of $15,000 to $25,000 over a one-year period to support demonstration projects
that will model affordable, transferable approaches to improving trainees’
readiness for stable, fulfilling careers.
Moving
from training to satisfying employment, whether within academe or in other
realms, can require skills not always learned at the bench. Helping trainees
understand, acquire, and demonstrate skills that make them ready for complex
careers should be the goal of submitted projects.
The
Burroughs Wellcome Fund will support pilot projects
that demonstrate practical approaches to readying scientists for career
transitions. Projects may be meant to enhance trainees' understanding of jobs
beyond the Academy, or of career trajectories within academe, or of the
flexibility of scientists' intellectual skill set.
