The Mayo Clinic Office of Diversity and Inclusion announced recipients of its 2019 Research Career Support and Advancement Awards. The awards provide research support to consulting staff members who have primary responsibility for their dependents.
Mayo Clinic is dedicated to the career development of all staff and understands the competing commitments that a caregiver must balance. Each recipient receives $25,000 for one year to support research activities.
