One program I really like to talk about that's available to early-career scholars is, we have a William T. Grant scholars program. And it's for researchers who are between zero and seven years out, although most people who are competitive are further out, probably closer to the four to seven years out of their PhD programs. Or, they are MDs who are between zero and seven years out from their first residency.

And it's a career-development award. So, the applicants propose a five-year program of research, in which they talk about ways in which they're trying to stretch their expertise. So, it's not just about helping people build their program of research that they would do anyway. It's really to support them in taking some new risks, to become a different kind of researcher.

So, some people learn about, they want to make some methodological stretches. Others want to make some inter-disciplinary stretches, to another discipline. And some of them want to just gain more substantive expertise in another area. So an anthropologist who is already has expertise ethnography, wants to learn about secondary data analysis. So they're really significant stretches.

And so, what they do is, they propose a five-year program of research, which involves making some of these stretches, and then they also propose a five-year mentoring plan. And it's a great program. We support people for five years, for $350,000.00. A lot of them use it to buy out teaching, so they can focus more on their research.

And we also bring them together twice a year, so we have two meetings with the William T. Grant scholars. We have a fall workshop that often focuses more on, it's more of a workshop, so it focuses more on some skill-sets they want to develop as a group of scholars. So for in the past, we've done it on mixed methods, how to do mixed methods work, how to publish mixed methods work. We've done it on qualitative data analysis. So that's the fall workshop, and then we have a summer retreat, which provides another opportunity for the scholars to network with each other, to bring in some external consultants that can also help them. So again, it's about their career development.
