The NSF I-Corps program at MIT will be hosting a workshop focused on broadening participation for BIPOC and female university researchers interested in translational opportunities for their work. The event is open to faculty, graduate students, postdocs and research staff and will be a great networking opportunity to meet with fellow researchers from across the region and connect with innovation resources. It will be held at MIT beginning at 4 PM on Monday, April 24th and concluding the afternoon of Tuesday, April 25th.
