As a co-chair of the Training and Career Development Core Committee, I’m proud to highlight the Endocrine Society’s commitment to fostering the next generation of leaders in endocrinology through these transformative programs. Having seen firsthand their impact, I can attest to their power in equipping trainees with the skills, connections, and recognition they need to excel and lead in the field.
Applications for these programs close soon on Wednesday, January 15, and we want to ensure your trainees don’t miss this opportunity. By encouraging them to apply, you can help them access workshops, mentorship, networking, and awards designed to elevate their careers.
The Early Investigator Awards (EIA) celebrate exceptional research in endocrinology. Awardees receive a $1,000 prize, complimentary ENDO 2025 registration, a one-year Society membership, and public recognition of their accomplishments.
The Early Career Forum Travel Award (ECF) provides access to an exclusive professional development workshop at the ENDO annual meeting. Travel awardees receive complimentary registrations for ENDO 2025 and the ECF workshop, plus a $400 travel grant.
The Research Experiences for Graduate and Medical Students (REGMS) program supports promising 1st to 3rd year medical or graduate students through hands-on research experience and mentorship from Endocrine Society members. Participants receive a $2,500 honorarium, an 8-week webinar series, career development opportunities, and the opportunity to present research at ENDO 2026 with a $1,500 travel grant.
Your recommendation and encouragement could make all the difference for a trainee considering these opportunities. Please share this information with your students and fellows and help us support the next generation of leaders in endocrinology.
Thank you for your partnership in fostering the careers of tomorrow’s endocrine professionals.
