IRACDA Programs Nationwide
The
Division of Minority
Opportunities in Research (MORE) of the NIH with an initiative
called the Institutional
Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA)
currently funds 6 programs including FIRST which are designed to combine
a traditional mentored postdoctoral research experience with an experience
to develop teaching skills through innovative programs that involve
mentored assignments at a Minority Serving Institution (MSI).
