The Grant Aims Accelerator Program (formerly Specific Aims), developed by the Trainee and Career Development Core Committee, pairs an early career professional with an experienced mentor to review the mentee’s Specific Aims draft (or international Specific Aims equivalent) for grant proposals.
The mentee will receive:
Mentors will receive an opportunity to share knowledge with trainees and early career professionals and gain Endocrine Society volunteer experience. Support the next generation of endocrine researchers by signing up to provide feedback on a grant proposal.
Mentors and mentees will be matched by research interests and will meet informally at the ENDO 2026 to discuss how the specific aims draft can be improved. If unable to meet at ENDO, there is an option to meet virtually following the meeting. The Grant Aims Accelerator program is open to international participants. Endocrine Society will match mentees and mentors from the same country.
Register for ENDO 2026, the leading global meeting on endocrine research and clinical care, taking place June 13-16 in Chicago, IL, US.
