Transforming Biomedical Research and Academic Faculty through Leadership Opportunities, Training, and Mentorship (TRANSFORM)
The TRANSFORM program aims to improve the diversity of the biomedical research workforce by enhancing the retention, promotion, and attainment of institutional leadership roles for faculty from groups historically under-represented in science and medicine (designated URM). TRANSFORM’s goal is to ensure that faculty at the associate professor level acquire the skills and experiences needed to advance to and thrive in more senior faculty and leadership positions. Expanding on the content from the AAMC’s Mid-Career Minority Faculty Leadership Development Seminar, TRANSFORM’s longitudinal curriculum includes executive coaching, mentoring, skills training and a partnered leadership project targeting an institutional problem or opportunity.
Applications open April 3, 2023 and are due June 12, 2023. Visit icre.pitt.edu/transform for more information and instructions on how to apply.

This program is comprised of four primary activities: (1) orientation webinar; (2) virtual workshop; (3) individual consultation; and (4) virtual coach and peer review sessions. The workshop kicks off our 2023 Minority Faculty Leadership Development Seminar. Join us for both at the Fairmont El San Juan in San Juan, Puerto Rico, starting June 22 through June 25.
