The PROMISE Study (Peer group Research on Mentoring Scientists underrepresented in biomedical research)
The upcoming PROMISE Study virtual lunch and learn sessions on Feb 3 and 4 from 12 to 1 pm are a part of The PROMISE Study’s outreach efforts to recruit Assistant Professors (MD, PhD, MD/PhD, or DO) from racially/ethnically underrepresented groups.
Are you an Early Career Faculty (MD, Ph.D., DO, or equivalent) who identifies as racially/ethnically underrepresented (UR) AND you are engaged in biomedical research? If yes, then we invite you to attend a virtual information session to learn about the PROMISE research study and to meet the research team.

Using a peer group model, the goal of the PROMISE research study is to enhance scholarly output and academic advancement of participants and identify best mentoring practices for UR biomedical researchers. The PROMISE Study is funded by the National Institutes of Health, Diversity Program Consortium. Through this national collaboration, NIH works together with institutions to diversify the biomedical research workforce.
All session attendees will receive a $20 gift card to their choice of Vimala’s Curryblossom Cafe or Foster’s Market.
