Diversity Career Development Program (DCDP)
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is committed to excellence in science and building a more inclusive and equitable NCI community. Established in 2017, the goal of the Diversity Career Development Program (DCDP) is to provide NCI postdoctoral fellows with leadership skills and tools to achieve their full potential at NCI and advance in their research careers.
Supported by the Intramural Diversity Workforce Branch in the Center for Cancer Training, DCDP provides personal and professional development, executive coaching, career guidance, and peer support. Candidates from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical research (NOT-OD-20-031) are strongly encouraged to apply.
Interested NCI postdoctoral fellows should talk to their supervisors about the program, discussing the time commitment and their desire to participate. Visit the DCDP website for additional details and a tentative schedule. Applications and the supervisor’s letter of support must be submitted by November 22, 2024.
