Inspiring Diverse Researchers in Virginia (iDRIV) Scholars program is founded on a dual commitment: supporting the success of exceptional investigators and building a diverse research community to enhance our mission of improving human health. Diverse research teams foster greater creativity and productivity, yet this diversity is underrepresented in the current scientific workforce.
The iDRIV program aims to accelerate the research careers of early-career and aspiring faculty at UVA through education, coaching, mentoring, and sponsorship tailored to early career biomedical science researchers.
Applications for the iDRIV program are currently being accepted.
Eligibility:
- Clinical (MD) and Post-Doctoral (Ph) Fellows, Clinical Instructor, Research Scientist, Assistant Professor, and Early Associate Professor (<5 years)
- Committed to a career in clinical or translational research
Individuals from historically or currently underrepresented groups in biomedical science as described by the NIH, including but not limited to, underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, and women are encouraged to apply.
Application review will emphasize the candidate’s potential for a productive career in biomedical research and the impact of the iDRIV curriculum on the candidate’s specific needs and goals for success.
