Finding The Courage To Make Career Decisions That Align With Your Goals Significant Impact: from K Award to Your First Big R01

    • Education

What sets apart a thriving research career from one that merely meets expectations? 
In this episode, I explore decision-making in academia, highlighting the transition from NIH Career Development Awards to your first big R01 grant. I challenge the notion that more time leads to better decisions, emphasizing instead the value of gathering information and taking courageous action. 
I also take time to reflect on recent K to R Essentials cohort applications. I was moved by stories of resilience during the pandemic and the similarities I see in the applicants’ K Award experiences.
As we welcome a new group of exceptional women researchers, I'm excited about our collective transformation. 
Join me for an open discussion on building a research career with an impact beyond just institutional checklists. 
Tune in to this episode of the podcast to learn about:
Why more time is never the only answer when making a big decision The importance of making bold decisions even when the path isn't clear and overcoming the fear of making the 'wrong' choice Insights into balancing institutional expectations with personal aspirations And so much more!
Listen in to learn why better decision-making happens when you cultivate self-trust and align your decisions with your career ambitions.
