July 11, 2012 College News - Four out of 15 national finalists selected for an early career development award in the areas of child maltreatment and intimate partner violence chose MCW faculty as their project mentors. As part of the program, all four recently visited the Medical College to meet with their mentors.
The program, Building Careers for Research in Child Maltreatment and Intimate Partner Violence: Early Career Scholar Interdisciplinary Training Program, is designed to help early career scholars successfully prepare a competitive multidisciplinary research proposal through access to training, mentoring and proposal critique from senior investigators.
The program is funded by a resource grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. It is being executed through a collaboration of injury and violence prevention scholars at the Injury Research Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin, the Center for Violence and Injury Prevention at Washington University in St. Louis, the Injury Prevention Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Colorado – Anschutz Medical Campus, and the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Prevention.
The four award winners who selected MCW faculty mentors for their projects are listed below, followed by the MCW faculty members they chose. Each scholar’s name links to additional information on their project.
