Launched in 2013, the Future Leaders Advancing Research in Endocrinology (FLARE) program has quickly grown into a vibrant and active program for fellows and alumni. The program works to empower promising senior graduate students, postdocs, clinical fellows, and junior faculty from underrepresented minority groups to establish independent research careers through leadership skills training.
Beyond participating in the FLARE Workshop, Internship, and Mentorship activities, FLARE fellows are invited to attend ENDO, the Society’s Annual Meeting & Expo, where they engage in additional leadership opportunities and further connections at specific events designed for alumni of the program. Since the program's launch, FLARE has been successful in training over 100 FLARE fellows throughout the United States.
