Grants and Contracts Details
Description
When the Foundation approached the Network about submitting a proposal
for a training grant we explored the traditional approaches (pre-doctoral
fellowships, post-doctoral fellowships) and decided that, like the Network
itself, our approach to training should be experimental.
We wanted to build on our unique strengths: 1) a total of 14 senior scientists
from different institutions and different disciplines, 2) committed to
understanding the etiology of tobacco use and dependence, 3) over a 7-8
year period.
With these strengths in mind, we decided to identify junior faculty members
at some of the institutions we represented who were very bright and willing
to risk being transdisciplinary early in their academic/scientific career.
The plan involved nominations from core group members, review by the
entire network, and selection of TERN Faculty Scholars. The
implementation plan involved having the on-campus member of the
Network core group serve as the on-site mentor, but the principal mentor for
each TERN faculty scholar would be a core group member from a different
institution and discipline.
