We are dedicated to the training and career enhancement of investigators in health research. Our Center hosts a Pilot Project and Mentorship Program that supports junior investigators at SDSU & SDSU IV with funding and mentorship in developing their programs of research. Our Investigator Development Team also hosts career enhancement events that are open to the public.

Pilot Project Funding Opportunity

This funding opportunity is to support pilot projects that align with the mission, vision, and values of the SDSU HealthLINK Center, leverage available Center research support/services, and align with Community Coalition priorities.

Five pilot project applications will be selected for funding. Awardees will receive $50,000 to spend over a two-year period, along with support from the Center through a year-long Research Management Training Program. (At least two of the selected projects must incorporate a community partner.)

Application submission for the upcoming cohort is currently closed.

Career Enhancement Events

Our career enhancement events provide learning opportunities to help advance careers in health research. These opportunities provide attendees with skills-based trainings in evidence-based and novel approaches to research.
