The program will provide external mentorship to PCCSDP Scholars as outlined in the PCCSDP Training Activities on the Training Program page. In addition, scholars will be expected to seek extramural funding between 15 and 18 months into training, and committee members will provide an external peer review to these proposals as they are prepared for submission to funding agencies.
The committee will also provide mentorship during the application process. In initial years, applicants are invited to attend the annual PCCSDP retreat, where they will be interviewed by members of the committee, and will participate in the scientific portion of the meeting. This will enable contact with committee members, even for applicants who are not funded as scholars, providing added richness to the value of applying to this program. All applicants will be expected to discuss their career development with Committee members, and even unsuccessful applicants will derive constructive feedback and benfit from this process.
