The Endocrine Society is now accepting applications to the Future Leaders Advancing Research in Endocrinology (FLARE) program. This program is for basic science, clinical research trainees, and junior faculty from underrepresented minority communities who have demonstrated achievement in endocrine research. FLARE program components provide structured leadership development and in-depth, hands-on training in topics ranging from grantsmanship to lab management. This program is sponsored by a grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Workshop: All selected participants will attend the virtual workshop in 2021, that teaches the “business of research” and the skills needed to establish themselves as independent researchers. Participants can choose to continue down the Internship Path or the Mentorship Path. The workshop will be held April 27-30, 2021.
Internship Path: Participants can serve on an Endocrine Society committee or participate in the Keystone Symposia Fellows Program
Mentorship Path: Participants connect to accomplished biomedical and clinical scientists as mentors and visit their mentor in-person.
ENDO Travel Award: ENDO 2021 will be a virtual meeting so this award will not be offered.
FLARE members with the appropriate background in basic or translational science will be given the opportunity to become part of the Endocrinology Early Career Reviewer program and work with the Associate Editors to learn reviewing skills.
