Are you a mentee in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, or social sciences? Learn more about the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) at a February 8 event featuring Melissa McDaniels, PhD of Michigan State University.

The goal of the NRMN is to enhance the diversity of the NIH-funded research workforce.
