The Dean’s Postdoctoral Diversity Fellowship is a two-year research fellowship that was established by the Division of Biology and Medicine at Brown University to help grow, support, and retain a diverse scientific workforce.
The Initiative for Maximizing Student Development at Brown University (IMSD@Brown) provides graduate students with professional development opportunities, academic support, and a community that enhances success in their PhD programs and makes them highly competitive for the postdoctoral positions and scientific careers of their choice.
In partnership with the Leadership Alliance at Brown, Biomed faculty provide nine-week summer research opportunities for undergraduate students with an interest in life sciences.
This is a summer enrichment program for six weeks meant to expose high school students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds or historically underrepresented minorities to career possibilities in basic and translational scientific research within the medical field of pathology.
The Division of Biology and Medicine is proud to support pre and postdoctoral trainees in a wide range of studies through federally funded training grants. These training programs are committed to building diversity and providing the resources necessary to help advance trainees in their field of science.
