PRIDE CVD-CGE Program for Inclusion and Diversity

Enhancing the diversity of the biomedical research workforce through PRIDE CVD-CGE Mentored Program offering research experiences, skills development and grant writing training for Junior Faculty from Diverse Backgrounds. 

Our program was designed to provide mentees with a working knowledge and appreciation for Cardiovascular Disease Comorbidities, Genetics, Epidemiology, Global Health, Implementation Science, and Data Science/Bioinformatics and to integrate these skills with their substantive research interests in CVD and HLBS problems.

• Participate in a 2-week Summer Institute during each of two consecutive summers.
• Attend a 2 day, mid-year meeting between summers (Feb-March);
• Attend a 3-4 day PRIDE Annual Meeting in the Washington, DC area (April);
• Develop a competitive grant application for a Small Research Project (SRP); and
• Establish a long-term networking relationship with a Mentor to advance your own research career.
