Postdoctoral Diversity Enrichment Program in Burroughs Wellcome Fund

Burroughs Wellcome Fund

The Postdoctoral Diversity Enrichment Program (PDEP) provides a total of $60,000 over three years to support the career development activities for postdoctoral fellows within underrepresented groups at a degree-granting institution in the United States or Canada whose training and professional development are guided by mentors committed to helping them advance to stellar careers in biomedical or medical research. This year, up to 25 awards will be granted for enrichment activities annually. This grant is meant to supplement the training of postdocs whose research activities are already supported. It is not a research grant. Beginning with the 2023-2024 grant cycle, BWF and the Charles H. Revson Foundation are proud to announce a collaboration aimed at expanding diversity and inclusion in the scientific research community. This partnership supports minority scientists’ advancement and enhances their contributions to various fields of research. Through PDEP, the Charles H. Revson Foundation will fund up to five additional fellowships to postdoctoral researchers at institutions located within the New York Metro area. PDEP award recipients being supported by the Charles H. Revson Foundation will be recognized as BWF PDEP/ Revson Scholars.

The program provides a total of $60,000 over three years as follows:

Year one: $20,000 will be granted to support enrichment activities of the postdoctoral fellow ($10,000 for research supplies or equipment uniquely required to enhance the postdoctoral fellow’s research and $10,000 for education and training, including for mentors in the research lab where the postdoctoral fellow is assigned.) The PDEP award cannot be used to support salary expenses or indirect costs. (Refer to “Terms of Grant” for information on indirect costs and other requirements for use of funds.)

Year two: $20,000 (same allocation as year one)

Year three: $20,000 will be granted to help the postdoctoral fellow advance research efforts towards the professoriate. The funds must be used to develop independent, innovative areas of research.

In addition to the PDEP awards funded by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund, up to five additional PDEP awards will be funded by the Charles H. Revson Foundation. These awards will be recognized as the BWF PDEP Revson Scholars. This designation is in recognition of postdoctoral researchers at institutions located within the New York Metro area receiving the BWF PDEP award. All elements of the PDEP award and programming are consistent with ALL PDEP awardees except in the case of some additional engagement of New York Metro awardees with the Charles H. Revson Foundation.

Individuals identified as underrepresented postdoctoral fellows conducting biomedical or medical research are eligible to apply. The program targets postdoctoral fellows with Ph.D.s in the biomedical or medical sciences. Applicants with M.D. degrees who have secured a postdoctoral research appointment beyond clinical fellowship will be considered for this program. DDS, DVM, and PharmD candidates may be eligible, but should contact BWF prior to applying. Proposals in health services research or involving large-scale clinical trials are ineligible.
