Training Grant Resources
If you are preparing a training grant that will fund postdocs, or if your postdoc is working on their own individual training grant, you will probably need information about campus resources and support. Here, we provide some documents that may be helpful.
- Principal Investigator, Project Director, Co-Principal Investigator (PI, PD, Co-PI) Eligibility
- The Institutional Environment section of a training grant may require information about the UArizona environment for postdocs; general information about what is offered by Postdoctoral Affairs can be found here. A list of typical UArizona workshops offered for postdocs each year can be found here. Note that postdocs are also eligible to earn a teaching certificate and a responsible conduct of research certificate.
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) may require a Career Development Plan (CDP) for the F32, K awards, and other training grants. Here are some guidelines for creating a CDP.
