F-Troop is a weekly hands-on writing workshop that targets pre- and postdoctoral trainees who are preparing an application for a fellowship award (e.g., F30, F31, or F32). Equivalent fellowship applications to other funding agencies are also encompassed by this program. 
Wednesdays

May 18 - August 3, 2022

Location: Virtual

5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

**You MUST register, at the latest, 24 hours in advance for F-Troop. You will receive confirmation of registration and a calendar invite with details to enable access to the session.

This is virtual challenge highlights multidisciplinary UT Health SA research projects that fall within the spectrum of translational science. Presenters share their research in 3 minutes to a live, mixed audience of community members, students, and faculty utilizing language and concepts that are easy to understand - with 1 slide. 

The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs (OPA) sponsors a workshop series to introduce effective strategies for the successful mentoring of diverse trainees. Proven approaches to the development and enhancement of effective mentoring relationships are explored in four 2-hour sessions. This workshop series is available to postdoctoral trainees, advanced graduate students, and faculty. A certificate is provided upon completion. To receive a certificate, attendance is required at all four sessions. 

Wake Forest Primate Signature Program provides access to nonhuman primates (NHPs) and related resources for studies that advance the CTSA network’s translational research. The objective is to facilitate the collection of data from NHPs in support of applications for extramural funding. To assist new NHP researchers, the award mechanism is intended to support project expenses and labor costs locally at Wake Forest and excludes PI effort and associated F&A from collaborating institutions.  The award includes faculty and technical support for in vivo studies, with no requirement for the awardee to be on-site. Ex vivo and data projects can be supported by sending data or samples to the investigator as needed.

Application Process

Applicants must submit a Letter of Intent (1 page maximum) by  May 6, 2022.  Please use Chrome or Firefox browser to activate the LOI survey link: https://redcap.link/a97yl4h8.  An invitation to apply, or notification that you have not been selected, will be sent by May 13, 2022.
