Program Snapshot

The NIH recognizes a unique and compelling need to promote diversity in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences research workforce. As one component of a broad, trans-NIH strategy to address this need, the Common Fund is establishing the “Increasing the Diversity of the NIH-Funded Workforce” program, which aims to unify and strengthen institutions and faculty dedicated to the recruitment and retention of diverse scientists.
