The Research Career Toolkit fills the gap between scientific training and the practical realities of leading a research program. It provides a set of concise and reusable "tools" that support effective leadership of research projects and programs to enhance career durability.
The tools cover the topics of information organization, precision communication, employee management, administrative and regulatory oversight, and pilot study planning. Each tool is designed for repeated reference rather than one-time reading. The toolkit is applicable across disciplines and institutional settings, and adaptable to local context.
The Research Career Toolkit is intended primarily for current and aspiring Principal Investigators, and their research teams. It can also be valuable to administrative leaders who seek to optimize their collaborations with researchers.
