Although letters of intent for the main competition aren't due until 30 December, candidates interested in sponsorship by an NIH institute must submit applications, including a cover letter, a CV, a three-page statement of research interests and future plans, and three letters of reference, to Dearolf by this Friday, 12 December.
However, given some time and the fact that your credentials become a part of that recruiter's working database, you may find, as Dr. Bylund did, that a call out of the blue can make for a wonderful change of scenery. 1) Do you have a full CV with a list of publications, along with a succinct statement of your research interests?
A statement of your research interests is often vital.
As part of the application process, applicants submit a scientific proposal detailing the research question(s), policy-relevance, study design, and a statement of future research interests.
In addition, a separate statement of research ethics was included in 8/24 of these statements.
We have lots of shared research interests.
Originally motivated by what participants produced--statements of research that could be used to interest novice college students in science programs--I-RITE has become directed at the participants themselves.
Statements of past, present, and future research interests, which also vary in length, form, and content, accompany the cover letters.
Programmes essentially reflect the research interests of the host institution.
In your research statement, highlight your past accomplishments and your current research interests.
These prompts can include generic, open-ended "Submit a statement of purpose" or something more detailed such as "Include a personal statement which describes how your experiences have prepared you for graduate study, your objectives, career goals, initial research interests, and why you think there is a good fit between your objectives and our program".
