Fostering Cohort Recruitment (FCR) Virtual Forum (February 23-24, 2022)
The goal of the FCR Virtual Forum was to galvanize the wider scientific community around the success of cohort recruitment models geared toward enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) for faculty.
Held over two half-days, the Virtual Forum continued the discussion from the Achieving Equity in Faculty – Pros and Cons of Cohort Recruitment event held in December 2021 and explored the following topics:
- faculty cohort recruitment adoption and dissemination
- the impact of faculty cohort recruitment on DEIA
- successful faculty cohort recruitment practices and potential barriers
- methods to effectively evaluate both implementation and outcomes.
