    Building Your Research-Based Career

     

    Video Length: 30 minutes

    Description:

    This webinar is intended to provide practical, concrete advise about building your research-based career by "Cultivating the 4Ms". There are four key ingredients for success in building a research career:

    • Me (you): Developing a personal armor for success is the most important overall determinate for your future.
    • Money: From your first academic appointment contract to seeking funding for grants, "there is nothing going on but the rent".
    • Mentors (and collaborators): Developing a group of mentors that you can count on for help and assistance is critical for a successful career. As multi-investigator grants become more and more the norm, selecting and cultivating reliable collaborators assumes great importance.
    • Management (Priorities/Time): How do you best manage priorities? One must decide what the priorities are overall and work to maximize success for them. Real contributions in science come about through bold ideas, disseminated widely, and through work in creating change at the regional and/or nation levels.

    Learning Objectives:

    • To guide faculty as they build a research‐based career.
    • To understand the reasoning and necessity of the "Cultivating the 4Ms"
