Graduate Diversity Enrichment Program

Burroughs Wellcome Fund

The Burroughs Wellcome Fund is committed to supporting the next generation of biomedical scientists and researchers. A significant portion of its grant programming includes the career development of young scientists. The existing Postdoctoral Enrichment Program Award (PDEP) was established to address the lack of equal access to advancement opportunities by certain underrepresented scientists, including first-generation college students and those from disadvantages socioeconomic backgrounds, and to position awardees to be more competitive in their pursuit of securing academic and research positions. Enrichment support for underrepresented postdocs has proven to be effective in their career progression. More than 200 awards have been made to early career scientists since the establishment of the Postdoctoral Enrichment Program Award in 2013.

Students with strong SAT scores, high grades and success in high school honors math and science courses often leave the undergraduate college STEM pipeline, and the loss is disproportionate among underrepresented students. BWF seeks to support those underrepresented students who go on to become graduate doctoral students in STEM fields and thus increase the diversity of individuals completing degree requirements and entering postdoctoral programs.
