Over the past decade, more than 125 postdocs - two-thirds of whom are from under-represented groups - have engaged with the San Diego Institutional Research and Academic Career Development Award (IRACDA) programme, which provides three years of mentored postdoctoral training, including career planning, grant-writing training, networking and mentorship. Of those from under-represented groups, 48% are now in tenure-track jobs, and that is nearly double the typical success rate for these positions.
Furthermore, the interdisciplinary approach of Trejo's health-sciences faculty training programme has so far benefited close to 400 colleagues, boosting the effectiveness of their mentoring, especially for under-represented trainees, as well as improving their morale and the campus culture.
