ALT The Inclusive Leadership Workshop, held in Seattle, Washington from May 5-8, 2025, is sponsored by the UW Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine and the Office for Research and Graduate Education. The in-person, four-day program is for postdoctoral researchers from outside the University of Washington who are exploring academic career paths in regenerative medicine/engineering and related fields and who are committed to inclusive teaching, mentoring, and lab leadership. Postdoctoral researchers from marginalized and historically excluded backgrounds (e.g., Black, LatinX, Hispanic, Indigenous, disabled, LGBTQ+) are highly encouraged to apply. There are no program costs for the Inclusive Leadership Workshop. Travel and lodging will be covered. The priority deadline to apply for the Inclusive Leadership Workshop is January 12, 2025.
