Career Development Program
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
The VA Office of Research and Development (ORD) has reorganized career development opportunities into one ORD-wide program. For detailed information about the new unified Career Development Program please check out the main Office of Research and Development website at http://www.research.va.gov/funding/CDP.cfm.
Research Career Development (RCD) Award
RCD awards are for fully trained clinicians who are early in their research career (no more than five years beyond completion of their last clinical training, fellowship, or other postdoctoral training). These awards provide mentoring and research support for up to three years of concentrated health services research activity.
Advanced Research Career Development (ARCD) Award
ARCD awards are for fully trained clinician-investigators, with at least three years of postdoctoral research experience, who need additional mentoring to become fully independent. The awards provide three years of research support for concentrated health services research activity. At the time of application, applicants should have a major role in a merit-reviewed research project funded by VA or another national agency.
Career Development Enhancement (CDE) Award
CDE awards support established clinician scientists by providing the opportunity for a research sabbatical of up to one year to learn new research skills. To be considered for a CDE award, the individual must have been an independent investigator, within VA, for a minimum of six years. During the award period, the awardee must devote 100 percent time to research.
