ESI vs ECI
Early stage investigators (ESIs) are defined by NIH as those individuals who have completed a terminal degree within the past 10 years but have not yet secured substantial NIH funding. OAR uses the umbrella term of early career investigator (ECI) to refer to this group as well as other researchers, including those junior investigators who are early in their careers and may have received some NIH funding but have not yet been promoted to associate or full professor.
For additional information for ECI and past workshop materials, please visit the OAR ECI webpage.
