Join an upcoming webinar to learn more about the NIH MOSAIC Program to promote faculty diversity on September 14, 2022 at 12 p.m. CT.
The MOSAIC Program is designed to facilitate the transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds into independent, research-intensive faculty careers. The program has two components: a postdoctoral career transition award to promote diversity (K99/R00), and a cohort-based mentoring and career development program that supports the scholars (UE5).
The MOSAIC K99/R00 program supports early career scientists with demonstrated and compelling commitments and contributions to enhancing diversity in the biomedical sciences. MOSAIC scholars come from diverse scientific backgrounds, and 75% are from racial/ethnic groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences.
In addition to the postdoctoral transition award, MOSAIC scholars become members of scientific cohorts and participate in mentoring, networking, and professional development activities coordinated by MOSAIC UE5 awardees: The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), or The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). NIH accepts applications for the MOSAIC K99/R00 award three times per year, and the next application receipt date is October 12, 2022. Please note, the MOSAIC K99/R00 award is limited to US Citizens and Permanent Residents.
The webinar will cover a broad overview of the programs and expectations of applications and the required data tables for the upcoming receipt dates: October 12 (K99/R00) and November 15 (UE5). You can send questions before the webinar to Kenneth Gibbs or post them in the chat box during the event.
