MOTHERS LEADING SCIENCE 2023-2024

Mothers Leading Science (MLS) is a competitive, year-long, leadership development program for research-intensive faculty in the health sciences who identify as mothers of school age and/or young children.

The purpose of this program is to foster professional and personal growth, provide peer coaching, integrate the dual roles of scientist and mother, develop future institutional leaders, and build a network of peers for ongoing support throughout their careers. See program plan for scheduling details.

Benefits

Dedicated programming and facilitation, peer support and connection, networking, training in resilience, peer coaching, and leadership skills. There is no cost to participate in this program.

Program Details

Cohort size: 8-12

Length: 1-year formal programming, followed by annual retreat and consultation

Curriculum: Leadership training grounded in Brené Brown's Dare to Lead(tm), guest mentor sessions with accomplished mothers leading science, peer coaching, various topical articles, TED talks, and podcasts. The goal is to keep pre-work modest and the conversations vital.

Diversity and Inclusion

Priority will be given to current and former ICRE KL2 and CEED Scholars. We would also like to specifically invite persons to apply from backgrounds often excluded from scientific careers (e.g., persons excluded based on ethnicity and race, individuals with disabilities, individuals who identify as LGBTQIA, first generation college students, and other backgrounds recognized as excluded by the NIH).

We want to create an inclusive space for all mothers in science on campus. We welcome participation from anyone regardless of gender identity who identifies as a "mother"; however, we want to note that we do explore the relationship between motherhood and womanhood specifically in this program. If you have any questions about whether this program may fit your needs as a mother, please contact the Program Coordinator, Cynthia Fela, at cgf31 at pitt.edu<mailto:cgf31 at pitt.edu> for more information
