N1 - Funding Information:
We have found career development awards to be especially valuable sources of extramural funding during the first several years of our careers. Many of these awards are specifically designed to protect research time, and they are sometimes less competitive for junior faculty members than other funding sources. Career development awards are offered by the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and others.
Funding Information:
Dr. Chin is supported by National Institute on Aging Geriatric Academic Program Award 5K12-AG00488, Dr. Covinsky is funded by National Institute on Aging Mentored Clinical Scientist Award 1K08AG00714-01, and Dr. McDermott is a Robert Wood Johnson Generalist Physician Faculty Scholar.

N2 - To survive academically in a clinician-investigator track, junior research faculty must develop a focused, independent program of investigation that addresses important questions with creative, valid methodologies. Appreciation for the rules of the game, good mentorship, and effective grant- writing skills are invaluable in making the transition from new faculty to established investigator. Although we strongly believe that young researchers should study the issues they passionately care about, we hope that knowledge of these guidelines will make it easier for them to balance practicality with idealism.
