Female professor teaching a group of studentsOn February 11 at 3:00 p.m. ET, ORWH will host an informational webinar on the NIH Prize for Enhancing Faculty Gender Diversity in Biomedical and Behavioral Science. This prize competition will recognize those institutions whose biomedical and behavioral science departments, centers, or divisions have achieved sustained improvement in gender diversity. ORWH acknowledges that no one-size-fits-all solution can enhance diversity throughout academia and that only evidence-based ideas can achieve systemic change. Thus, this prize will acknowledge and recognize transformative approaches, systems, projects, programs, and processes that have successfully enhanced and sustained gender diversity within institutions.

The February 11 webinar will be the last informational webinar on this Challenge Prize; will provide an overview of the prize competition, judging criteria, metrics, and other relevant topics; and will conclude with a Q&A session.
