Are you ready to take your research to the next level? The FIT Program is an annual, intensive, 1-week, hands-on program for up to 25 experienced pharmacist-investigators who have not yet been awarded significant peer-reviewed extramural funding as principal investigators. The 2010 FIT Program will be held June 12–17, 2010, at the University of Arizona, College of Pharmacy. Through this mentored program, you will take necessary steps toward preparing a K, R01, or similar investigator-initiated application for submission to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other major funding source. The 2010 FIT mentor faculty members include Vicki Ellingrod, Gene Morse, Julie Banderas, Barry Carter, Susan Fagan, Duane Sherrill, Reggie Frye, John Cleary, Mary Gerkovich, Lynda Welage, Gary Yee, and Greg Stoddard.

Applications and the 2010 FIT Program brochure will be available online at http://www.accpri.org on January 4, 2010. Applications close April 1, 2010.
