Dear Colleagues,
We have two exciting scholarship and mentorship opportunities to share with you!
Scholarship applications will open on November 20 for the summer Skills for Health and Research Professionals (SHARP) Program, with a deadline of February 29, 2024. Our 1-4 day trainings in omics, data science, climate and professional development are geared towards early-career faculty and postdocs, and are offered in a variety of in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats. These scholarship awards cover at least 50% of the registration fee, increasing the accessibility and participation of early-stage researchers and professionals in learning in-demand field methods.

In addition, early-stage investigators are encouraged to apply for Career MODE, an 11-month hybrid mentorship and training program in omics and data science. Funded by NIH/NIGMS (R25GM143298), trainees will be paired with two expert mentors, join a network of established researchers, and receive intensive training in grant writing, leadership skills, and omics and data science approaches to support their ongoing research. Cohort members are expected to participate 8-11 hours per month. Biomedical researchers across the U.S. are encouraged to apply for Career MODE by February 2.
Both the SHARP Program and Career MODE are open to individuals from any organization and have limited capacities. Feel free to share these opportunities with anyone that may be interested.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrea Baccarelli,
Director of the SHARP Training Program (Skills for Health and Research Professionals) at Columbia University
