Are there examples of the type of project/proposal that BWF is looking for?

Yes, FASEB’s Individual Development Plan (IDP), a tool that helps structure key conversations between trainee and advisor, and Preparing Future Faculty, a program that provides trainees opportunities to observe and experience faculty responsibilities, are two established programs (not developed with Burroughs Wellcome Fund support) that provide excellent examples of career preparation opportunities developed at a pilot scale and then adopted across the nation.
