Do PIs need to include developmental objectives and plan in a SCORE SC award application?
A. Yes, all of the SCORE SC award applications require that a PI provide his/her developmental objectives including a plan and timeline to achieve them. The developmental objectives must be consistent with the goals of each individual mechanism (see the SC1, SC2 and SC3 funding opportunity announcements at http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Minority/MBRS for further details). The PI’s developmental objectives and plan must be included as part of the Biographical Sketch within the page limits of the Personal Statement. This section should address the PI’s career objectives and plan as related to the increased research competitiveness and productivity and development of an independent research program. The plan must justify the need for development and provide an explanation of how the proposed project and the time devoted to it will help the PI further his/her research competitiveness and significantly improve his/her productivity. A timeline for the transition to non-SCORE support must be provid
