Social Impact and Belonging

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) emphasize the importance of expanding the research workforce to effectively address complex health challenges. Engaging scholars from a wide range of disciplines—including medicine, nursing, pharmacy, sociology, social work, and nutrition—into academic research careers is a key strategy in advancing this goal.

To support the long-term success of researchers in academic careers, we are committed to fostering an environment that is intellectually stimulating, professionally rewarding, and personally enriching.
