Bridges to the ProfessoriateNew and current NIGMS-MARC predoctoral fellows are invited to participate in the Bridges to the Professoriate program which is part of the yearly meeting of the Compact for Faculty Diversity’s Institute on Teaching and Mentoring. This program, supported by the Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) Program of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) through the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, provides doctoral students the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in graduate school and to smoothly transition from the Ph.D. to a postdoctoral position and eventually to an academic position. The Bridges to the Professoriate program provides interested NIGMS-MARC predoctoral students and their faculty advisors financial support to attend the Institute’s meeting as Bridges attendees. The Bridges program will cover the costs for registration, travel, lodging, and meals for NIGMS-MARC predoctoral fellows and their faculty mentors/advisors.
