ASTRO ROCKS: Transitioning from Mentored to Independent Research

In this Research-Oriented Career Knowledge and Support (ROCKS) web session, experienced investigators shared how they successfully transitioned from mentored to independent research, not only from the grant writing perspective, but also on how they managed different roles and expectations that came from such a transition.
