Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Positions for post-bac and post-doctoral fellows: NIDA SD Fellowship for Diversity in Research
This mechanism serves to promote mentorship of young scientists passionate about addiction research and issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in science. Fellows will participate in research at the NIDA IRP and have the opportunity to network and present their findings at local and national meetings. Program activities will help to ensure the success of these students in their pursuit of careers in science and medicine. People from diverse and underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply; see more info in the program description.
