Have you been successfully funded by R-mechanism grants, built relationships and collaborations, and are looking to advance your research career by asking larger questions and addressing more significant issues? Then this session is for you! Pitt faculty will share their experiences with P grants that fund programs, centers, and consortia. They will describe components of their grants and how they developed productive and long-term collaborations, discuss challenges, share tips and strategies, and answer questions from attendees. At the end, a new Pitt initiative to help support you in developing successful P grant applications will be announced.
