Pretty sad. Just got the email that CZI is canceling the second round of Diversity Leadership Awards. Private industry will definitely not fill the hole that NIH and NSF are leaving. 😢💔

Thank you for submitting your Letter of Intent (LOI) to CZI. We appreciate your interest in our work.

CZI has decided not to continue with the second round of its Science Diversity Leadership Awards. We are committed to supporting groundbreaking research that advances the frontiers of scientific knowledge in pursuit of our mission to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the century. We will provide information on future funding opportunities.

We look forward to staying in touch.
