New Maximizing Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers (MOSAIC) Programs Announced

In March, we shared our plans to develop a new program as part of our efforts to enhance postdoctoral career transitions to promote faculty diversity in the biomedical research workforce. We’re pleased to announce that the Maximizing Opportunities for Scientific and Academic Independent Careers (MOSAIC) funding opportunity announcements have been published. MOSAIC is designed to facilitate the transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds, such as individuals from groups underrepresented in the biomedical research workforce at the faculty level, into independent faculty careers at research-intensive institutions. The program has two components: MOSAIC Institutionally-Focused Research Education Cooperative Agreement to Promote Diversity (UE5)PAR-19-342 Supports independent organizations (e.g., scientific societies) of biomedical scientists who conduct research within the NIGMS mission. Awardees will provide skills development, mentoring, and networking opportunities that prepare cohorts of scholars supported by MOSAIC K99/R00 awards to transition into, succeed, and advance in independent faculty careers at research-intensive institutions. First application deadline: November 15, 2019Earliest start date: July 2020 MOSAIC Postdoctoral Career Transition Award to Promote Diversity (K99/R00)PAR-19-343 Supports postdoctoral scientists from diverse backgrounds conducting research in areas within the NIGMS mission by providing...
