This NIH grant, the FIRST Cohort Program, is designed to transform the culture at NIH-funded extramural institutions. Its primary purpose is to build a self-reinforcing community of scientists deeply committed to diversity and inclusive excellence within biomedical research. The program achieves this by recruiting highly competitive faculty for advertised tenure-track or equivalent Assistant Professor level positions. Ideal candidates will be those who have not previously held such positions and have demonstrated a strong commitment to promoting diversity and inclusive excellence. Implementing and sustaining these cultures of inclusive excellence through this program has the potential to be truly transformational for biomedical research at participating institutions and beyond.
