Navigating career grant programs

If you're an early career investigator, you might be considering applying for a career development grant. These grants not only look at your research project but also at you and your potential. ORDE offered a couple of seminars last month looking at the NIH K programs and the NSF CAREER programs, specifically. In case you missed them, below are links to the edited videos.
