The MAVEN Senior Scientist Initiative
Sponsor: Northwell Health
Summary
MAVEN is an education training program designed to expand the national pool of qualified women and minority candidates for senior scientist positions across all NIGMS areas of science. Senior scientists (N=160, N=40 per cohort) belonging to an ethnicity, race or gender under-represented at the senior levels of faculty will be enrolled in a randomized 2-arm trial to determine the effects of the MAVEN intervention (comprised of virtual educational sessions and ongoing mentorship) on the following outcomes: 1) increased career satisfaction (primary outcome); 2) peak academic productivity; 3) expanded scientific networks; and 4) leadership ascension.
