Looking for a Post-Doctoral Fellow

There is potential funding for a post-doc for the project ‘Early Predictors to School Age Language: Individual and Interactional Child and Parent Factors,’ 12/1/2018-11/30/2023.

Potential post-docs contact me, Letty Naigles letitia.naigles@uconn.edu, with ideas, and we jointly write a 'diversity post-doc' supplement to the grant, which we then submit to NIDCD.  Below are listed additional rules and regs:

Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-20-166.html)

  • The institution determines, justify and certifies the eligibility of the candidate.

  • The principal investigator of the NIDCD-funded award prepares the supplement application together with the candidate.

  • Typically, supplements are provided for a maximum of 2 years with a strong justification for a second year.

  • The application must clearly describe the need for additional mentored research training.

  • Applicants must include a plan to transition to NIH mainstream research training and/or research funding as part of the proposed development plan.

  • The parent award (i.e., R01) must have an active budget that is at least equivalent to the duration of the requested supplement and should not be (or go) in non-cost extension.

  • Typically, we award 1 supplement per parent award to support 1 candidate.

  • Supplements are limited to citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States or to individuals who have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States (i.e., in possession of a Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551).

  • individuals supported in a research award (like an R01) may not be transferred to a supplement to increase the availability of funds to the parent grant for other uses.

  • Discuss the supplement request with your program officer to make sure that the proposed project falls within the scope of the parent award.

  • Typically, we accept applications at any time, and we respond to the applicant within 6 weeks after receiving the application.
