note = "Funding Information: When the neurosurgeon becomes an assistant professor, he/she is striving to achieve PI status. Many neurosurgeons start with a K-level career development award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to get started in their research careers as faculty members. The next several years are spent developing a coherent and forward-thinking research program that will ultimately translate to funding as a principal investigator (PI) on an R01 NIH research award. To do this, they must establish their independence as investigators, including balancing the need for continued mentorship while also separating themselves enough from their research mentors to successfully compete for an R-level NIH grant. Development of extensive collaborations across multiple research domains generally must also continue. Sometimes, this type of evolution can lead to negative reactions from former mentors, but it is an essential part of the development of the neurosurgeon.",
