Research Scholars Training at HHMI
In 2021, HHMI announced a long-term commitment to advancing DEI goals through continued support of existing efforts as well as new initiatives. One of the newer initiatives is to create a research training program for individuals interested in gaining experience and training in biomedical research. The goal of the HHMI Research Scholars Training Program is to support diversity within the scientific workforce. This will be done by providing biomedical research training opportunities where recent graduates (including associate and bachelor’s degree earners) and science education faculty can further their development as scientists and prepare for next steps in their scientific career.
Core programmatic components of the HHMI Research Scholars Training Program will include:
The Program Lead is the principal connection between the Research Scholars Training Program and its participants. They assist the participants in understanding the goals of the initiative, manage participant engagement in program activities, assess the participant progress, and will help evaluate program outcomes.
In addition to leadership of this program, the Program Lead will support the development of new equity-centered partnerships and provide ideas and perspectives to other Center initiatives. The Center is actively seeking and cultivating collaborations with leaders across the scientific ecosystem to address systemic inequities and design new models for science engagement and outreach. This position will be a key contributor to this effort.
