Training and mentoring opportunity for early-career biomedical researchers
Compass is an NIH-funded training and mentoring program for early-career biomedical researchers looking to employ effective leadership and management practices in their labs.
The program is free to Scholars for the duration of the grant. Compass is open to all biomedical junior faculty and postdocs in the United States.
A career in biomedical research requires scientists to lead lab members to conduct excellent science while juggling the demands of supervising people, managing projects, writing papers and grants, and so much more—all while trying to build a satisfying career and a fulfilling life. Compass offers essential knowledge, skills, and tools for navigating these issues with intention.
Delivered remotely, Compass allows for convenience, the time needed to practice and apply learning, and the opportunity to learn with peers at institutions across the U.S. Scholars also learn from experienced mentors who will share their lessons learned and advice. The Compass team believes that the essential skills and resources needed for career success should be available to all—not just left to guesswork.
Due to overwhelming demand, the fall 2023 cohort has been filled. Compass is accepting applications on a rolling basis to be considered for the spring 2024 cohort (dates TBD)—and invites all biomedical junior faculty and postdocs in the U.S. who lead, or plan to lead, a lab or research team to apply.
