SERVE AS A Pilot Funding REVIEWER!
Why participate in an SC CTSI Pilot Funding Program review committee?
- Broaden your horizons. Becoming a reviewer is a great way to learn about the SC CTSI Pilot Funding Program, find out how a peer-review process works, and meet and network with subject-specific experts in your area of expertise.
- Become more successful in obtaining grants. By serving on a pilot grant review committee, you will become thoroughly familiar with the process of proposal evaluation and what reviewers are looking for in a competitive application. The insights gained from your service will aid you in your own research and future funding aspirations.
- Become a better mentor. As you become more knowledgeable about the grant submission and review process and more competitive in your own grant applications, you become a much better mentor to students and post-docs seeking guidance in the grant process.
- Become part of the transformative process in translational research. The SC CTSI’s mission is to translate science into solutions for better health. One key component to this program’s success is the SC CTSI’s pilot funding program. By serving on a pilot grant review committee, you become an integral part in helping to shape the research environment in southern California and will be working directly in the process of catalyzing research discoveries into novel therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
