Transition Award provides mentored research funding support for aspiring Clinician Scientists who have just completed their formal research training, with the aim to help budding Clinician Scientists (CSs) transition to a stable, independent research position or research funding to build up their research capabilities. The long-term goal of the award is to increase the cohort of new and talented, NMRC-supported independent CSs.
The award is non-renewable as the award recipients are expected to apply for national-level independent research grant support after this career transition period.
