AAF, however, was able to find a previous version of this website.

The document in question confirms Ms. Holmes as the host of the “Diversity Supplement Program.”

The NIDA ORTDD is proud to share that the first ever virtual NIH Diversity Supplement Professional Development and Networking Workshop that took place on August 30-31, 2022, and brought together over 20 institutes, centers, and organizations to host more than 600 diversity scholars at the undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, pre-doctoral, post-doctoral and early investigator/faculty career levels.

The two-day workshop provided scholars the opportunity to share their research and get feedback during poster sessions, hear about NIH Diversity Equity Inclusion Accessibility (DEIA) efforts, gain knowledge about NIH funding and training opportunities specific for their career stages and beyond, receive information about the NIH grant and review process, learn how to choose a mentor, network with NIH staff and other scholars, hear from past scholars about their journey to becoming an independent investigator, and learn about other scientific career paths.

The workshop was a fantastic event and was well received by NIH colleagues, scholars, and principal investigators. We heard from many scholars that the information provided during the ‘Meet with a PO’ session was beneficial and invaluable to them and for some this was the first time they had ever spoken to an NIH program officer! Moreover, the talks and presentations were inspiring and informative. See the workshop agenda for more details. Finally, participants really enjoyed the ability to network within the Gather Town platform as it so closely mimicked an in-person meeting! We would like to thank all the scholars, NIH staff, presenters, and meeting organizers for their help with making this workshop a huge success!

To host this sort of event reveals view that are far outside of the mainstream.
