About
During the 2020-2021 academic year, ICTR participated in Building Up, a career development intervention sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh and designed for postdocs and junior faculty who identify as members of groups underrepresented in health-related sciences. As a result, the UW Collaborative Center for Health Equity (CCHE) created STRIDE (Success Together Reaching Independence, Diversity, and Empowerment), a mentored professional development program for early career and junior faculty at UW whose scholarship falls within the translational research spectrum.
STRIDE provides a supportive environment and training in mentorship, scientific writing, grantsmanship, and time management. The program also provides an opportunity for scholars to connect with institutional leaders with shared lived experiences.
- STRIDE 1.0 includes monthly 90-minute seminars and two mentor meetings including the STRIDE scholar, their mentor(s), Vaishali Bakshi, and Amy Filut.
- STRIDE 2.0 includes quarterly Scholar Meetings, Leadership and Skills Enhancement for Research (LASER) training program from ICTR’s Team Science Program, mentorship training, and funding to support their professional development.

The UW Institute for Clinical and Translational Research also receives funding from NIH-NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) 1UL1TR002373.
