Brian Kim: Unsolicited advice to new PIs
Brian Kim, Sol and Clara Kest Professor, Vice Chair of Research, Site Chair, Director of Mark Lebwohl Center at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, shared a post on X:
“Unsolicited advice to new PIs and my opinion only not fact:
As a new Assistant Professor, you have a 1-1.5 year window where you can get an R01 without a corresponding author paper IF you have a high-impact 1st-author paper from your postdoc.
After that, it seems no amount of data in your R01 application matters anymore. The study section is looking for a peer-reviewed publication. The important thing here is that it does not need to be high impact. They are looking for execution. Can you deliver the final product?
‘I don’t have time. Is there an alternative?’ Put paper on preprint server and get it sent out at a respectable journal and note that in your R01 application. The study section may let this slide.
Again, my opinion based on my own experience. Good luck to all new PIs I know it’s a tough time.”
