Early Career Faculty

To support the career development and advancement of minority and underrepresented faculty and scientists, the Mentoring and Project Team (MPT) of the Planning and Evaluation Core has developed a program that will help match early-stage investigators with senior mentors at NEIU, UIC, and NU, develop their career development plans, find resources and organize events and activities to focus on skill building and grant and manuscript writing.
