NOT-OD-19-141: Request for Information (RFI): Inviting comments and suggestions on the development of a prize competition for Gender Diversity in the Biomedical Research Workforce

Request for information: development of a prize competition for Gender Diversity in the Biomedical Research Workforce

Though parity is being reached between men and women at the graduate level in the biomedical sciences and in medical schools, women remain underrepresented at the faculty level in science and medicine, particularly in the mid- and senior-level ranks.

The NIH Office for Research on Women’s Health has issued a Request for Information (RFI) on a proposed prize competition that would recognize institutions that have demonstrated a commitment to systemically addressing faculty diversity and equity issues within biomedical and behavioral science departments. The goal of this competition would be to acknowledge transformative structures, systems, projects, and processes that have enhanced faculty gender equity and diversity within an institution.

Due date: October 31, 2019.
