About PRIDE
The Programs to Increase Diversity Among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research (PRIDE) initiative of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) aims to broaden the demographic profile of biomedical research by training junior faculty from under-represented backgrounds and/or with disabilities to advance their scientific careers and be more competitive for external research funding.
