Thirteen investigator participants and 11 faculty mentors teamed up for 4½ days of intensive proposal development work at the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy from July 10 to 14, 2014. Guided by experienced mentors, mentees concentrated on and revised their individual research proposals throughout the week. Six small-group proposal development sessions kicked off with “Writing Killer Aims” and, working at the pace of the group, ended with a “Budget, Project Management, and Next Steps Toward Implementation” session. The small-group sessions were complemented by tip-rich lectures and discussions, one-on-one mentor and biostatistician appointments, and continual proposal revisions.
