The TRANSCENDS program: Rationale and overview

Early-career academic faculty from underrepresented minority groups are under-represented among medical school faculty, less likely to receive research grants, less likely to be promoted, and report lower career satisfaction. The Training in Research for Academic Neurologists to Sustain Careers and Enhance the Numbers of Diverse Scholars (TRANSCENDS) program was established as a research training and mentoring program to foster careers of diverse early-career individuals in neurology. Early career individuals from underrepresented groups in the biomedical-research workforce were selected from applicants during the initial cycle (2016–2020).
