Our Commitment to Your Success:

Comprehensive Training and Consulting

We understand that the success of research programs depends on securing sufficient funding, building strong teams, and fostering effective leadership. Unlock the full potential of your research teams with our tailored group and individual training programs. CareerVolt's expert consultants work directly with your leadership team to promote research success at your organization. We develop customized programs for your faculty and researchers at all levels to facilitate their ability to design and execute winning strategies to secure grants, enhance productivity, publish and disseminate, and ensure successful project completion.

"Do With" Philosophy

  • Teach to fish: CareerVolt operates from a philosophy of "do with" rather than "do for". By empowering research professionals with skills and confidence, they will be equipped to conquer current challenges and anticipate and navigate challenges of the future. This practice allows individuals to thrive and to impart the same skills to those they supervise or mentor.
  • Multiply the impacts of internal resources: Our programs enhance internal support mechanisms available to your research leaders rather than replacing those mechanisms. For example, our research development (RD) packages complement internal programs to expand RD capacity to better meet demand. Similarly, our faculty coaching programs complement internal supports provided by faculty mentoring committees and faculty development programs. In doing so, our services help maximize the benefits of internal resources.
