Target agreement meeting
At the start of the program, the program management conducts a meeting with all new participants, their mentors, and the clinic directors to agree on goals. This meeting is intended to contribute to the smooth running of the program support and serves to clarify open questions in advance. In the target agreement meeting, the contents and the division of times for clinic and research are planned and recorded in writing over the course of the three-year program funding.
Reporting obligations to the Clinician Scientist office
After one year of program funding and annually thereafter, Junior Clinician Scientists prepare a report on the current status of their research and clinical training. A final report is submitted at the end of the grant. The report submission is done online via the BIH application and reporting portal.
Feedback meetings with the mentors
The continuous mentoring includes regular feedback meetings with the mentors to discuss the progress of the research project and the clinical training (at least once a year). The annual written reports on the progress of the research project and the clinical training form the basis for this. The transmission of the feedback meeting protocol including the signatures of all participants to the coordination office of the BIH Biomedical Innovation Academy is obligatory for the Junior Clinician Scientists once a year.
Final meeting with the program management
At the end of the program, a final meeting with the program management takes place to discuss both the experiences during the time of the program and career perspectives.
