What is Your Phenotype?
• Basic research at bench with cell or animal models
• Basic research using human subjects• Applied research using human subjects
(translational research)• Clinical efficacy in humans• Clinical effectiveness in populations• Population/health system/care delivery• Education

What Are Your Resources?
• Start-up funding (money)• Laboratory space/reagents/animals
(infrastructure)• Technical basic or clinical support (human
resources)• Protected time (personal resources)• Access to
samples/databases/patients/trainees

Who is Your Mentor?
• Same phenotype• Same focus• Successful in terms of grants and publications• Can train you in methods, as needed• Your advocate and defender• May include you as co-investigator of existing
grants• Facilitate networking outside of institution

What Are the Institutional Expectations
• Grant funding• Clinical responsibilities• Educational responsibilities• What will get you promoted/tenured?
![Page 8: Funding Options for Your Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062517/5681330e550346895d99cbcb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Are You On the Right Faculty Track?
• What is the value of tenure in a medical school?• Tenure track positions have a set time when the ax
will fall (average age for first RO1 is 42)• Can you compete with Ph.D. faculty who are 90% in
the lab?• Clinical track positions do not preclude active research
programs• Funding buys research time• Most institutions require scholarly activity for
promotion in all tracks
