Description:

Early career researchers are often faced with considerable uncertainty when it comes to the tasks of successfully and efficiently launching and managing their research portfolio. This session will focus on helping early career prevention scientists to navigate the development and launching of a research agenda. For example, how do you plan strategically for research opportunities that reflect a cohesive research mission? How do you move your own research ideas forward to establish yourself as an independent scientist? From there, how do you build teams around your research mission with consideration of building infrastructure and the capacity of team members to meet your research goals?
