On June 21, 2022, NIGMS partnered with Dr. Christine Pfund and the National Research Mentoring Network (NRMN) Coordination Center to present a webinar discussing ways to advance assessment and evaluation efforts in an efficient, evidence-informed, collected and coordinated manner. After the opening session introduced the NRMN Common Measures and Pilot Measures Library, attendees moved into break-out rooms for Lightening Talks on evaluation and capacity-building from NIGMS awardees. The webinar concluded with a session to discuss evaluation support needs from the community.
On February 22, 2023, NIGMS hosted a webinar on promoting safe and inclusive research training environments. The webinar featured a keynote presentation on building a respectful, inclusive culture by Dr. JoAnn Trejo, professor of pharmacology and director of the Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Awards (IRACDA) program at the University of California San Diego. Dr. Trejo is also a principal investigator for an NIGMS grant to develop training modules on safe and inclusive research training environments. Following the presentation, other NIGMS grantees shared the results from their NIGMS-funded supplements to develop training modules on safe and inclusive environments.
