Opportunities of Interest to CARG
|
|
|
TRANSFORM: Transforming Biomedical Research and Academic Faculty through Leadership Opportunities, Training, and Mentorship.
The TRANSFORM program was designed by and for faculty from groups who have been historically under-represented in science and medicine (designated URM) as defined by the NIH. Our goal is to ensure that URM faculty at the associate professor level, acquire the skills and experience needed to advance to and thrive in more senior faculty and leadership positions (e.g., Professor). This innovative program combines culturally responsive longitudinal leadership training, mentoring, and coaching tailored to mid-career faculty, and fosters a network of support, encouragement, and peer-peer learning among URM faculty. This approach unites the expertise and educational modalities of five institutions committed to the success of URM faculty, and positions URM faculty to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment at their own academic institution and beyond.
Application Deadline: June 12, 2023
