RAPID targets young scholars (residents, fellows, and junior faculty) who identify as underrepresented in medicine (UIM), disabled, or from a socially, culturally, economically, or educationally disadvantaged background, and who are committed to a career in academic pediatrics.
This initiative began in 2012, funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and continues to receive support through this mechanism, providing mentorship and research opportunities to young scholars with specific interests in pediatric obesity, nutrition, and/or sickle cell disease, in addition to other NIDDK research areas (R25DK096944). In 2021, the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) joined the initiative. In 2022, the American Pediatric Society and the American Board of Pediatrics began supporting RAPID Scholars, so applicants from any pediatric subspecialty are encouraged to apply.
