This NIH FIRST Cohort grant aims to fundamentally transform the culture of NIH-funded extramural institutions. Its core objective is to build a self-reinforcing community of scientists deeply committed to diversity and inclusive excellence. This initiative seeks to embed and sustain cultures of inclusive excellence, which is expected to have a significant, transformative impact on biomedical research both within awardee institutions and beyond. The grant specifically supports the recruitment of individuals who are competitive for tenure-track or equivalent faculty positions at the Assistant Professor level. Candidates must also meet NIH’s Early Stage Investigator criteria and demonstrate a strong, proven commitment to promoting diversity and inclusive excellence within the scientific community.
