MGH Physician and/or Scientist Development Award 2023
Three- or Four-Year Award for Investigators
who are Underrepresented in Academic Medicine*
*Fundamental, Clinical, Translational, and Health Services investigators are all eligible
Applications for grants are invited by the MGH Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI), and the Executive Committee on Research (ECOR).
What is the Award?
The MGH Physician and/or Scientist Development Award (PSDA) is designed for MD and/or PhD investigators at MGH who are considered underrepresented in academic medicine (UiM). This Award is intended to provide transitional funding for support in the development of physicians and scientists underrepresented in academic medicine, and thereby increase opportunities for UiM researchers to advance to senior positions in academic medicine at MGH. This award is a key faculty initiative of the CDI. We encourage applicants to engage with the center and learn more about our programs and other initiatives: www.massgeneral.org/cdi. The CDI will evaluate the need for this Award on a regular basis.
Am I UIM (Underrepresented in Medicine)?
For the purposes of the PSDA, MGH follows the definition of underrepresented in medicine and biomedical research (UiM) of the NIH and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). UiM groups may include Latino/ Hispanic (including Brazilian), African-American/Black, American Indian, Native Hawaiian and Alaskan Natives, among others. Please note that Asians are not considered UIM, UNLESS they are underrepresented relative to the population MGH serves, e.g., Cambodian or Laotian.
How much is the award?
$180,000 plus 20% indirect costs will be awarded to be spent over a three or four-year period, with a maximum of $60,000 plus indirect costs per year for 3-year awards and a maximum of $45,000 plus indirect costs per year for 4-year awards.
When is the deadline?
Tuesday, February 28, 2023 – 5:00 PM

Smith Family Foundation Odyssey Award
A program of the Richard and Susan Smith Family Foundation
What are they?
The Smith Family Foundation Odyssey Award was created in 2017 to fuel creativity and innovation in junior investigators in the basic sciences. The Award supports the pursuit of high impact ideas to generate breakthroughs and drive new directions in biomedical research. The awards will fund high-risk, high-reward pilot projects solicited from our brightest junior faculty in the region. Projects should be conceptualized as a novel research line and a distinct and novel off-shoot from the applicant’s current research.
Eligible applicants must be junior investigators who received their first independent faculty appointment on or between November 1, 2014 and November 1, 2019.
There is no longer a limit on the number of applications from a given institution. Applicants no longer need to be internally selected and nominated by their institutions. Please apply directly to the sponsor.
How much is the award?
The award is $400,000 over two years ($200,000 per year)
When is the deadline?
Tuesday, January 10, 2023 at 12:00 Noon

NIH Administrative Supplement Programs Support
Early-Career Biomedical Investigators
In response to a challenge from then–NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., to address the persistent underrepresentation of women in biomedical research, the NIH Working Group on Women in Biomedical Careers developed two notices of special interest (NOSIs) of administrative supplements to support and enhance the retention of early-career biomedical investigators during critical life events.
The first NOSI, Administrative Supplements to Promote Research Continuity and Retention of NIH Mentored Career Development (K) Award Recipients and Scholars (currently NOT-OD-23-031), announced a program to support junior investigators who have received K awards as they transition from individual mentored career development to research independence. This program aims to improve retention and minimize departures from the biomedical research workforce.
The second NOSI, Administrative Supplement for Continuity of Biomedical and Behavioral Research Among First-Time Recipients of NIH Research Project Grant Awards (currently NOT-OD-23-032), announced a program designed to enhance the retention of investigators who are transitioning to the first renewal of their first independent Research Project Grant award or to a second NIH Research Project Grant award. Retention at the first renewal or continuous NIH Research Project Grant support is crucial for both sustaining the ongoing research NIH has made an investment in and retaining diversity in the biomedical research workforce.

Celebration of Mentoring at MGH
“Celebrating Mentoring with a Developmental Network Perspective”
Wednesday, January 25, 2023, 4:00 – 5:30 pm
Provided by Mass General Brigham and MGH Center for Faculty Development
Join the Center for Faculty Development to celebrate the vibrant mentoring culture at MGH! This event will recognize recipients of 2022 departmental, MGH-wide, and Harvard mentoring awards. In particular, the winners of the 2022 CFD Excellence in Mentoring Awards will be announced.
“Celebrating Mentoring with a Developmental Network Perspective”
The celebration includes a keynote presentation, “Celebrating Mentoring with a Developmental Network Perspective,” by Monica Higgins, MBA, Kathleen McCartney Professor of Education Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education.
During this online session, we will celebrate mentoring by considering how to build an effective developmental network or personal board of directors in one’s career. A “developmental network” consists of the people in one’s career who assist you by providing personal and professional help in one’s career. One way to think of a developmental network is as a personal board of directors, much as you might a board of directors of an organization; however, in this instance that board of directors consists of the network of people who are assisting you in your personal and professional development. Participants will have the opportunity to listen and learn about research on mentoring and developmental networks and to ask questions about what it takes to be an effective mentor and mentee. Participants will be given an opportunity to consider who they consider to be in their own personal board of directors and also, what it is they might want to change. In addition, we will discuss ways to help others, such as subordinates and colleagues, build effective developmental relationships. At the end of the talk, participants will be given access to an online tool to create their own developmental network map that they can use to reflect on their own professional development goals and mentoring.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
· Distinguish a new way of thinking about mentoring – as a developmental network or personal board of directors
· Review what the research has shown about the value of a developmental network
· Create one’s own developmental network and so, reflect on one’s mentoring practice
· Identify some tips about what it takes to be an effective mentor and mentee
Target Audience: This activity is intended for faculty and faculty trainees.
Course Director: Miriam A. Bredella, MD, Director, Center for Faculty Development; Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School
Keynote speaker: Monica Higgins, MBA, Kathleen McCartney Professor of Education Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education.
ACCREDITATION
Mass General Brigham is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Mass General Brigham designates this live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
