Synthesis is achieved by developing new research capabilities through collaboration with a mentor to enable new understanding of their research system and questions of interest. This track aims to\u00a0provide mid-career scientists with new capabilities to\u00a0enhance their productivity, improve their retention as scientists, and\u00a0ensure a diverse scientific workforce that remains engaged in active research\u00a0(including more women and minorities at high academic ranks).\u00a0<em>2) OPUS: Core Research Synthesis:<\/em>\u00a0This track provides an opportunity for an individual or a group of investigators to revisit and synthesize a significant body of their prior research in a way that will enable new understanding of their research system and questions of interest.
