NIH is hosting a webinar on Thursday, August 29 at 1 PM ET for the NIH MOSAIC Program to promote faculty diversity! During the webinar, we’ll provide an overview of the funding opportunities and application components and answer your questions:

The MOSAIC program is designed to facilitate the transition of promising postdoctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds into independent, research-intensive faculty careers. The program has two components:  an individual career transition award for postdoctoral scholars (K99/R00) and a research education cooperative agreement (UE5) awarded to organizations to provide these scholars with additional mentoring, networking and professional development activities to support their transition to and success in independent faculty careers. The MOSAIC K99/R00 program supports researchers who have demonstrated meaningful contributions and proposed compelling future plans to promote broad participation in the biomedical research workforce.

NIH accepts applications for the MOSAIC K99/R00 award three times per year, and the next application receipt date is October 12.  Please note, the MOSAIC K99/R00 award is limited to US Citizens and Permanent Residents.

The informational webinar will be on Thursday, August 29 at 1 PM ET. You can read more about the MOSAIC program and find log in information in a recent post on the NIGMS Feedback Loop Blog, as well as answers see answers to Frequently Asked Questions.  We plan to post the slides and video on the MOSAIC website shortly after the webinar.
