Discover Scientific Opportunities at NIH
The Future Research Leaders Conference (FRLC) is a career-development opportunity for talented early-career biomedical and behavioral scientists from diverse backgrounds. During the FRLC, selected early-career scientists will showcase their research to the NIH scientific community and gain insights from NIH leadership and investigators about developing an independent research career. The event is most appropriate for post-doc and junior-faculty level investigators.
The next FRLC will be held at the NIH Campus in Bethesda, MD, May 20–21, 2019.
