Grant Description

The purpose of this FOA is to encourage Professional Societies to design and implement educational programs with the goal of recruitment and retention of diverse individuals to pursue careers in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences workforce. Applications from Professional Societies representing the NIDDK mission areas are encouraged to develop educational programs aimed at recruiting and retaining talented, well-qualified students, fellows, and junior faculty from groups underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences research in the NIDDK mission areas. Professional Societies should propose an educational program based upon an educational experiment encompassing a diversity management plan for the Society.
