UNC is part of a national effort, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Diversity Program Consortium, to identify best mentoring practices for scientists underrepresented in biomedical research.
The PROMISE Study is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and designed to promote the success of underrepresented (UR) researchers in the biomedical workforce. Our study involves peer group mentoring with discussions facilitated by senior UR researchers, with the goal of enhancing scholarly output and academic advancement of URM postdocs and junior faculty.
We are actively recruiting postdoctoral fellows holding MD, PhD, MD/PhD or DO degrees from racially/ethnically underrepresented groups to participate, with peer group meetings anticipated to start in Summer 2021.
