The Faculty Advancement & Research Mentorship (FARM) program is a college-wide training and mentorship program for junior faculty at Weill Cornell Medicine. Since 2015, FARM faculty mentors have been working side-by-side with junior faculty as they write their first successful R01 or equivalent grant. The goal of this program is to support early-stage investigators in building their own fully funded, sustainable, and independent research program.  Participants are provided longitudinal support from a committee of faculty mentors over the course of 12-18 months. To date, more than 160 junior faculty from 35 Departments, Divisions and Institutes, across Weill Cornell Medicine have participated in the program. Our approach is trainee-centered and considers the inherent iterative nature of the writing practice. 

We are excited to announce that the application cycle for FARM 2024-2025 is currently open until September 6th, 2024. For more details about the program and how to apply, please see our most recent RFA  here.
