The MICHR K12 is a mentored career development program designed to provide protected time for scientists to focus on conducting translational research. We want to receive applications from individuals from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in their fields. The types of science proposed in these awards are broad, as MICHR is not discipline or field-specific. We are also interested in applications that focus on health disparities, community-engaged research, or research across the lifespan.
