This program provides a diverse cohort of recent PhD scholars with rigorous scientific research training, instruction, mentoring, and experience in teaching, and career development guidance. Our training enabled scholars to transition to tenure-track faculty positions and research-related employment upon completion of their fellowship. In turn, the scholars serve as mentors, role models, and research instructors for undergraduate students.
