Workshop Synopsis

This virtual workshop is designed to inform scientists in the earlier stages of their career and those who mentor them or oversee National Institutes of Health (NIH) training, career or educational grants about mechanisms that are designed for particular career stages.

NIDA Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow, will give the workshop welcome and Dr. Yasmin Hurd, Professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, will give the keynote address. The workshop will highlight diversity, women sex/gender, grant application and review, and will give special attention to research training, career development and research opportunities by career stage.
