FASEB Fellows for the Future Promotional Toolkit

Help FASEB Promote this Opportunity

FASEB Fellows for the Future is a cohort-based program designed for early-career researchers from historically excluded groups who want to make their scientific society more inclusive. Engagement in scientific societies is vital for early-career researchers’ growth and career advancement. However, many face obstacles such as limited financial support and lack of an established network within their society. This program equips researchers with the skills, network, and support necessary to take on leadership roles within their home societies, enabling them to drive cultural change and spread effective strategies across different communities. It promotes increased cultural change through key activities essential for building an inclusive research network, including mentorship, conference participation, service in professional societies, and recognition of research achievements. 

Fellow applications can be found here. Application deadline: September 30, 2024.
