Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to inform potential applicants to the new NIH Advancing Research Careers (ARC) Program to Enhance Diversity of an upcoming webinar on planning submissions to the F99/K00 (PAR-23-222) and UE5 (PAR-23-221) Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs). 

Participation in the webinar, although encouraged, is optional and not required for application submission.

Background

The ARC Program is part of NIH’s efforts to promote diversity within the biomedical research workforce and is designed as a structured program to enhance participation of trainees from diverse backgrounds, for example, individuals from underrepresented groups (see Notice of NIH’s Interest in Diversity) as they transition from predoctoral research training to postdoctoral research and career development. ARC has two components: an institutionally-focused research education cooperative agreement (UE5) and an individual predoctoral career transition award (F99/K00) to enhance diversity.
