Listening sessions will take place throughout March 2023, and each session will focus on a specific theme:

Date

Time

Session

March 8 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. ET Role, duration, structure, and value of the academic postdoc, including the effects on underrepresented populations
March 10 1:30 – 2:30 p.m. ET International trainee concerns

The NIH also announced a Request for Information (RFI) inviting the research community to give input on the state of postdoctoral research training and career progression infrastructure in biomedical science. The RFI is open through April 14, 2023.

The insights from the listening sessions and RFI will assist NIH in hearing the voices of postdoctoral trainees along with others impacted by this unique and skilled training position, and in exploring ways to address some of the fundamental challenges faced by the postdoctoral trainee community.
