Expanding opportunities for early career scientists and diversifying the scientific workforce

Developing a diverse scientific workforce by supporting the careers of researchers who are underrepresented in science is an important step in expanding the scope and advancing the quality of science and research, which results in improved access to clinical trials and new treatments and better healthcare outcomes.

The AMSNY Science Forward Initiative is dedicated to increasing the recruitment, retention and advancement of researchers and faculty at academic research institutions in NYS.

In March 2023, AMSNY’s Biosciences Advisory Council hosted postdoctoral and early-career researchers at the Science Forward: Towards Inclusive Excellence in Academia symposium. This event included presentations from leaders in science, panels, professional development workshops and networking and mentorship sessions.
