Pilot Program
The Pilot Program, co-led by Alice Ryan and Ann Schwartz, will award funds for and support completion of stakeholder-informed studies using data from the Data Core or primary data collection to address gaps and add knowledge in our multi-level framework. Together these resources are intended to lead to Scholar career and K/R-grants to promote independence for scientists and sustain I-REACH.
Please fill out the Career Development Inquiry Form with any questions or concerns about the Pilot Program.
