The Faculty Grant Development Fellowship is a two year professional development program co-sponsored by the NIH BRAD Program and the Office of Academic Affairs. Selected faculty attend training workshops, develop and submit grant proposals, and then mentor further cohorts of faculty who are new to pursuing sponsored programs.

The Fellowship is not offered every year.  Subsequent cohorts will be contingent on available funding.
